This is important because Democratic governors can block Republican legislatures gerrymandering efforts after the 2020 census.According to FiveThirtyEight’s “Classic” forecast,[SUP]1[/SUP] 195 million Americans will have a Democratic governor after the 2018 elections, compared to 134 million with a Republican one. Democrats are forecasted to control 24 states, on average; Republicans to control 26. (Currently, 33 states have Republican governors, 16 states have Democratic governors and one (Alaska) an independent.)
