Utah Republicans have had a supermajority in the Utah House of Representatives for more than 30 years.
Democrats are on track to flip more than a dozen House seats, which could break the GOP supermajority for the first time since 1992, and two nonpartisan candidates look set to win legislative seats.
Reed Galen, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project whose new project is Civic Forum, says the explanation fits in two words: arrogance and corruption.
"This is a dictatorship of the legislature," Galen said on the latest episode of Special Session. He says Utah voters have a small-c conservative streak that is skeptical of concentrated power, and the Legislature has been running roughshod over local control for decades. It finally came home to roost.
Galen also has advice for the new Democratic majorities in Washington: subpoena everyone.
