Women Overall, Dems in Particular Lose BIG Numbers in Statehouses While GOP Women Gain

Just looked at the numbers at the National Conference of State Legislatures. They caution that these are only preliminary numbers because of races yet to be decided but even so, there is a very clear DROP in the number of women in the country’s state legislatures (more than 100), with a VERY big drop in the number of Democratic women officeholders (more than 200) and a big increase in the number of Republican women officeholders (more than 100).

To see the preliminary numbers, go to the original post at Writes Like She Talks.
