This is not meant personally to you, OP, as yours is only one of many naive, breathless posts here that appear to be prompted by the influence of propaganda on those with an inadequate understanding of how our political system works.

For instance, a lot of people don't seem to understand that governors have the power to appoint the heads of state agencies. With the Republicans gone batshit anti-science crazy, it's important to have Democratic governors in order to protect the environment, for instance. Also, having a Democrat in the governor's office protects the election process in that state, as the governor appoints the Secretary of State. So, since the 2018 midterm election and 2020 presidential election are so very, very important at this time, it's good that Democrats will be in charge of the voting machines.

There are things - like our whole democracy - that are at stake now. We need Democrats in power.
