Mr. Winger’s comment is either disingenuous or just a bit ignorant. Of course there were fewer GOP Senators and Assemblymen in 1860. There would have had to have been, because in 1860 the Assembly only had 36 members and the Senate only 16, So 6 Senators was a respectable minority, and 19 Assemblymen was an actual Republican majority.

After the 1860 election, there were only 6 Republican State Senators and only 19 Assemblymembers. There were also fewer Republicans during the 1850’s. Also the November election for state legislature, according to the California Constitution, is not a “runoff”. It is the election itself. No one gets elected in partisan offices in June in California, so the June event is not an “election” (for partisan office). The election is in November and there is no runoff.
