In Georgia in 2002, the GOP only won the State Senate because 4 Democrats switched parties after the election.  So the GOP did not win due to electoral result.  And the Democrats maintained the State House until 2004 (and even then they only lost it because they were so stupid as to approve a GOP plan for redistricting the districts).

I did not know about the State House and forgot about the State Senate situation. Thanks for the correction.

Sure, Phil.  Oh, and I wasn't trying to contradict you, though, but just point out something that rarely appears in writeups of the current political climate in GA.
