Beginning next month we will periodically be crunching data and rating each of the races for State Legislature in 2017 and 2018 – beginning with this summer’s special elections.
The categories we will be using are:
Safe Republican
Likely Republican
Leans Republican
Toss Up
Leans Democratic
Likely Democratic
Safe Democratic
Democrats are bullish that the current 25-15 deficit the party currently suffers in the Senate can be reduced to 22-18 or even better in November 2018 while on the House side the current 79-41 GOP edge appears unsustainable on the surface when you consider demographic shifts and the success of Democrats at the top-of-the-ticket in many Republican held seats.
We’ll be diving into these races with our first set of ratings sometime next month.
Please start with the two special elections (Sept. 26, 2017) in Miami.
