Washington (CNN) Democrats are going to court in Nevada on Wednesday to try to stop a recall election that they fear could lead to new efforts to wipe out legislative majorities across the country. Republicans in Nevada are seeking to recall two senators who were elected in 2016 -- without alleging any wrongdoing on the part of the senators. Because both are Democrats, and if the GOP can flip two seats, it will take control of the state Senate. In Washington state, Democrats' narrow majorities in the Senate and House could be in jeopardy. And the GOP's hold on the senates of Colorado and Minnesota could also be overturned through recalls.
