During those years, Republicans increased their control of state legislative chambers, total state legislative seats, and state government <a href="/State_government_trifectas" title="State government trifectas">trifectas</a>. Together, these gains gave them an advantage over Democrats heading into the 2018 elections. </p> <h3><span id="Changes_in_chamber_partisan_control.2C_2010_to_2017"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="Changes_in_chamber_partisan_control,_2010_to_2017">Changes in chamber partisan control, 2010 to 2017</span></h3> <dl><dd><dl><dd><i>See also: <a href="/Partisan_composition_of_state_legislatures" title="Partisan composition of state legislatures">Partisan composition of state legislatures</a></i></dd></dl></dd></dl> <p>Prior to the 2010 elections, Democrats controlled 61 of the country's 99 state legislative chambers, Republicans controlled 37, and one chamber was split between the parties. In the six years that followed, Republicans made significant gains and took control of many of the chambers that were previously held by Democrats. Following the 2016 elections, Republicans controlled 68 chambers and Democrats controlled 31. After the November 2017 elections, Republicans controlled 67 chambers and Democrats controlled 32. </p><p>From 2010 to 2017, there were 54 instances where a state legislative chamber changed partisan control. Of these 54 changes, 40 involved a chamber changing from Democratic to Republican control and 11 involved a chamber changing from Republican to Democratic control. The other three involved chambers that were split between the two parties (Oregon House in 2010 and 2012; Montana House in 2010). </p><p>Most of the changes came during major elections but some also came through special elections (Louisiana House in 2010; Washington Senate in 2017) and party switching (Louisiana House in 2010; Mississippi Senate in 2011). In some cases, the party that gained control did not have a numerical majority but instead controlled the chamber through a <a href="/Unique_chamber_leadership_arrangements_in_state_legislatures,_1994-Present" title="Unique chamber leadership arrangements in state legislatures, 1994-Present">bipartisan coalition</a> (i.e., Alaska House in 2016). This table does not account for changes in party control or ties in a chamber that lasted for less than one year and were not the result of a regularly scheduled election. An example of this is the brief period of Democratic control in the Virginia State Senate in 2014.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a></sup> </p><p>From 2010 to 2017, 39 chambers switched control: 28 switched control once, seven switched control twice, and four switched control three times. Eleven of the 15 battleground chambers in 2018 switched control at least once from 2010 to 2017. For the 50 instances where a chamber switched control in a regularly scheduled election, the average majority controlled 55.7 percent of its chamber's seat heading into the election. </p><p><b>For this chart, a red box indicates that the chamber flipped from Democratic to Republican control, and a blue box indicates that the chamber flipped from Republican to Democratic control.</b> </p> <table class="wikitable collapsible" style="background:none;

Since 2010, the Republican Party has increased its number of trifectas and the Democratic Party has seen a decline in its trifectas. Prior to the 2010 elections, Democrats had 17 trifectas, Republicans had 10, and 23 states were under divided government. After the 2016 elections, Republicans had 25 trifectas, Democrats had six, and 19 states were under divided government. In August 2017, Republicans picked up another trifecta when West Virginia Gov. <a href="/Jim_Justice" title="Jim Justice">Jim Justice</a> changed his partisan affiliation from Democratic to Republican. In the November 2017 elections, Democrats won a special election in the Washington State Senate and gained control of the chamber.
