Democrats Grip on the South Continues to Slip

        Elections are coming up and Democrats are afraid of losing positions in the south. The change in the south has been going on since 1964, when the Civil Rights Act was passed. Democrats are trying to keep four open seats in Arkansas and Tennessee, along with incumbents in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and North Carolina. The positions are key for Republicans to get control of the house. There are 59 Democrats in house seats from the the 11 states of the Old Confederacy. It could be the Democrats biggest loss since 1994, when they lost 19 seats.
