In New Hampshire, Republican state Rep. David Boutin defeated Democrat state Rep. Jeff Goley to win a special election for the state Senate. The seat had belonged to Ted Gatsas (R), who resigned to become mayor of Manchester last month. Democrats still hold a 14-10 edge in the upper chamber.
In Alabama, Republicans picked up a Democratic-held seat in the state House. Funeral home owner K.L. Brown (R) defeated teacher Ricky Haley (D) by nearly 14 points.
Uh, one quick thing about Alabama and its politics. I have hear a lot about Alabama being racist. And it is only neo-confederates and nazis and other racists that are down there. The Alabama politics are far from being run by "Republican right wing racists." In fact the GOP only holds 45 house seats, compared with the DEMOCRATS 60 seats. The government has a vast Democrat Majority. Right Wing Racists? Try again.
So uh, that was a side note, but these are two more notable special elections that the GOP has won. So that puts them ahead now, 5-1 in big notable special elections.
