State Legislature--post election

Republicans seem to have withstood attempts by Georgia Democrats to put a major dent in their majority in the state Legislature.

Most incumbent legislators in the state Senate coasted to an election victory Tuesday night. And Democrats seem likely to make only marginal gains in the state House.

Republicans currently control the House with a 107-73 majority. Republicans held on to 104 seats, with another one tilting their way. Democrats locked up 72 seats, and another three are leaning their way.

The state Senate, meanwhile, is in a holding pattern. Republicans control the chamber by a 34-22 margin and that didn't change Tuesday.
