Changes in state trifectas

The following chart displays how many trifectas each party held between 1992 and 2024. Because newly-elected officeholders are not sworn in until December of the election year or January of the following year, changes in trifecta status as a result of general elections are reflected in the following year's numbers.


The table below shows the changes in trifectas each year since 1992.

Impact on redistricting

In 37 states, legislatures are primarily responsible for drawing congressional district lines. Seven states have only one congressional district each, rendering congressional redistricting unnecessary. Four states employ independent commissions to draw the district maps. In two states, politician commissions draw congressional district lines.

State legislative district lines are primarily the province of the state legislatures themselves in 37 states. In seven states, politician commissions draw state legislative district lines. In the remaining six states, independent commissions draw the lines.[1]

2010

As a result of the 2010 elections, 21 states had a change in trifecta status. Twelve of those states saw changes that would go on to impact the 2010 redistricting process. Details on the redistricting process in those 12 states can be seen below.

  • In Alabama, the state legislature is responsible for drawing both congressional and state legislative district lines.
  • In Colorado, the state legislature draws congressional district lines. Colorado's state legislative boundaries are drawn by a politician commission.
  • In Indiana, the state legislature is responsible for drawing both congressional and state legislative district lines. The governor may veto the maps drawn by the legislature.
  • In Iowa, an advisory commission drafts congressional and state legislative district boundaries. The state legislature retains final authority to implement district maps.
  • In Maine, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the state legislature. An advisory commission is also involved in the process.
  • In Michigan, congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the state legislature.
  • In New Hampshire, congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the state legislature.
  • In North Carolina, the state legislature is responsible for drawing both congressional and state legislative district lines. District maps cannot be vetoed by the governor.
  • In Ohio, congressional district boundaries are set by the state legislature. State legislative district lines are drawn by a politician commission.
  • In Oregon, the state legislature is primarily responsible for drawing both congressional and state legislative district lines. If the legislature fails to approve a state legislative district map, the secretary of state must draw the boundaries. There is no similar backup provision for congressional redistricting.
  • In Pennsylvania, congressional district boundaries are drawn by the state legislature. State legislative district lines are drawn by a politician commission.
  • In Wisconsin, both congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn by the Wisconsin State Legislature.
