Republicans Plan Push To Capture Statehouses In 1978

Democrats hold power in 27 states, GOP in one, with 36 governorships up for election in 1978. Demographic shifts favor Sun Belt growth and new districts, while several Northeastern states may lose seats. Black districts face dilution as populations shift and white voters impact representation, says Rep. Parren J. Mitchell.
