OMOV really screwed up the state legislature in NJ.

Oddly enough, however, "nonpartisan" districts for congressional districts actually works in favor of the GOP. This is more difficult at the state level, due to the necessity of giving Hudson/Essex/Bergen/Middlesex so may (Democrat) seats.

Hard to believe things have gone downhill so far in NJ since the ‘90s.

The rodents haven’t received a majority of the vote for the legislature in TN since the early ‘90s, but thanks to grotesque gerrymandering, they maintain majorities for themselves (currently, at least, for the US House and House of Reps, but we broke the lesser-so gerrymandering in the State Senate). We’re hoping to break it this year (at least in the State House), but even if we get a 1-seat majority, we have a dictatorial rodent Speaker who has held power for over 20 years who has several RINOs in his back pocket that will vote for him. It’s sickening.
