vs in 2010, is that although the state legislature is all-GOP, this time the governor is a Democrat AND the State Supreme Court (that recently threw out the 2011 GOP gerrymandered congressional map in 2018, and installed their own map) is majority Democrat (5 (D) - 2 (R)).

When the state Supreme Court redrew the map, their revision took the state from having 13 (R) - 5 (D) congressional seats, to 9 (R) - 9 (D). And after they did that, the SCOTUS refused to take the GOP's whiny cases because "state Constitution" and all... ("states rights" ).

I think there is one state Supreme Court seat up this year for election.
