Bolts' newsletter surveys the 2026 midterms' blue wave: Democrats swept every Texas statewide office on the ballot, flipped state governments in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere, and lost Republicans longtime strongholds from Georgia to Iowa. It also covers down-ballot wins against sheriffs and prosecutors, Virginia ending its Jim Crow-era felony disenfranchisement, and voters in Missouri and Montana enshrining direct democracy as a constitutional right. Winners like Penny Reynolds Brown and Shannon Long say they will ease voting and limit cooperation with ICE, and Bolts forecasts Democratic control of election administration across most battleground states.
