History: GOP Takes Senate, Adds 4 House

Republicans made history today, winning control of the State Senate for the first time in history and picking up four seats in the State House.

Senate Co-President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee, soon to be the new lone president pro tem, told a cheering GOP crowd of the GOP takeover at the party's watch party.

The GOP House wins put their number there at 61; speculation had been there might be a one-seat pickup.
