Republicans keep control

No votes counted yet in 15 of the 34 seats on the ballot

The count for these has not reached us yet; the rest of the chamber is drawn from what has. 1 district has one candidate on the ballot and is shown in that candidate’s party. 15 seats up this year are not in the count we read at all. Nothing is filled in until votes arrive.

Held by: the sitting member before the election, matched to the district; a seat with no matched member is left unmatched rather than given a party. District lines: the Census Bureau’s 2024 state legislative districts; a seat not on this year’s ballot is drawn in the page’s gray, outlined in its sitting member’s party.
