Fact check: What states have no Democrats in state congress

1. Summary of the results

Based on the provided analyses, none of the sources explicitly identify states with no Democrats in their state congress. The analyses reveal a significant gap in available information regarding this specific question.

The most relevant information comes from source ^[1], which mentions having "a detailed breakdown of the partisan control of legislative chambers in each state" that could potentially be used to infer Democratic presence or absence, though the specific details are not provided in the analysis ^[1].

The other sources focus on different aspects of legislative control:

• Sources ^[2] and ^[3] discuss general trends in partisan control but lack specific state-by-state breakdowns
• Sources ^[4], ^[5], and ^[6] primarily address congressional representation rather than state legislatures, which are entirely different governing bodies

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question contains a critical ambiguity that the analyses highlight: the distinction between state legislatures and congressional representation. Source ^[5] and ^[6] provide information about congressional seats, mentioning that:

• New Mexico has no Republican congressional seats ^[5]
• Connecticut has no Republican congressional seats ^[5]
• Maryland Democrats hold all but one congressional seat ^[6]

However, congressional representation is fundamentally different from state legislature composition. State congresses (legislatures) are state-level governing bodies, while the analyses discussing gerrymandering and congressional seats refer to federal representation ^[6].

The analyses also reveal that complete partisan dominance in state legislatures would be extremely rare in the American political system, as even heavily partisan states typically have some minority party representation in their state legislatures.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question may reflect a misunderstanding of American governmental structure by conflating state legislatures with congressional representation. This confusion is evident in how the analyses address both topics without clearly distinguishing between them.

Additionally, the question assumes that states exist with zero Democratic representation in state legislatures, which would be an extraordinary political phenomenon. The lack of sources providing this information suggests either:

• Such states may not actually exist
• The information is not readily available or commonly tracked
• The question itself may be based on incorrect assumptions about state political compositions

The analyses collectively suggest that complete single-party control of state legislatures is uncommon, making the premise of the original question potentially flawed ^{[1] [2] [3]}.
