What’s the most important race on your ballot on Nov 6th?

“Beyond the usual issues, there’s one big reason to pay attention to governors this year.  Governors elected in 2018 will almost all still be in office in 2021, when the next round of congressional redistricting starts.  In many states, governors will wield a veto plan over the new House and state legislative maps.  The Republicans hold an astonishing two-thirds of the governor’s mansions across the county, giving the GOP an overwhelming advantage in controlling state governments.  This year 26 of those seats are on the ballot.”   This info according to Vox News, “Forecasts from leading election watchers show about 18 of the most competitive races in the 2018 elections are currently Republican-held.  Democrats finally have a chance to regain some ground.  Republican governor Bruce Rauner is sure to be out; Democrat JB Pritzker has a 16-point lead in the polls, 10/16018.  Dems are polling strongly in MI, OH, FL, GA, ME, NV, WS, SD, OR, AK, NM, CT, KS, PN & IA.
