In the Senate Democrats picked up SD24 and SD38 but lost SD12
In the House, it should be 61 R/ 42 D/ 2 I. Democrats lost HD39 and HD41.
Exactly. I would only add that 2 I will caucus with Republicans. Democrats survived this year with minimal losses, even better then in Mississippi. But, as i said earlier - there may be serious problems next time: about half of Legislature will be term-limited, and among white Democrats only 4 will have a right to run for reelection. Some open (next time) seats (HD-32, HD-33 and HD-54 first of all) are about R+30 or more. It's rather difficult to imagine them to stay Democratic (even if Democrats will run very "local" and conservative candidates). Of course - it's way too early, but i am reasonably sure the problem will exist...
Awesome. Thanks to both of you.
If I recall correctly, in Louisiana, the governor selects the Speaker of the House. With a 3 to 2 deficit for Democrats, that could be interesting.
