Unofficial results posted today on the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) website reveals political control of at least 10 of the country's 99 state legislative chambers (Nebraska has a unicameral legislature resulting in the odd total for the country) changed parties in yesterday's election.

NCSL reports "Based on unofficial results, the Democrats won the Colorado House, Colorado Senate, North Carolina House, Oregon Senate, Vermont House and Washington Senate. In case of the Colorado and Washington chambers, the margin of victory is only one seat, and recounts are expected in several districts."

Republicans took control of the Georgia House, Indiana House, Oklahoma House and Tennessee Senate.

NCSL also says control of chamber in a number of state legislatures still await the outcome of key races. Chambers in the balance include the Oregon House, Maine Senate, Minnesota House, Montana House and Montana Senate. More information is available at http://www.ncsl.org.
