State AG Races: Lots of Toss-Ups

Over at Ballotpedia, Joseph Kastner has launched a dedicated “racetracking” page to follow the 30 state attorneys-general contests up this November. The handicapping has eight seats as toss-ups with plenty of other in-play “likelies” and “leans.”

Toss ups: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, and Oklahoma.

Likely Ds: Connecticut, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

Likely Rs: North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin.

Lean Ds: California, Iowa, and Minnesota.

Lean Rs: Alabama Safe Ds: Arkansas, Delaware, Maryland, and Massachusetts.

Safe Rs: Idaho and Nebraska.

Currently Democrats hold 20 of the 30 AG posts, but an e-mailing friend writes of Balllotpedia’s analysis: “16 elections are in the toss-up to Safe-R category, versus the ten seats currently held by Rs, so, as with so much else this year, it’s possible that AG seats will also exemplify the get-rid-of-incumbents spirit of the year. AG stands for ‘Almost Governor’ . . .  and therefore who gets elected this year, and what party they’re from, is important for what happens down the road.”
