Partisan control of at least eight legislative chambers across the country is up for grabs this November, battles that will go a long way in determining the fate of a litany of hot-button issues ranging from abortion to immigration in key battleground states.
Both parties have trained their focus almost exclusively on five states in the final stretch of the campaign: Arizona, where Republicans hold majorities in the state House and Senate; Michigan, where Democrats control both chambers; Minnesota, where Democrats are defending the state House; New Hampshire, where Republicans are aiming to hold on to the state House; and Pennsylvania, where the Democratic-held state House is in play.
