Genie: the figures are out now and the Republicans won 52% of the votes for House members and the Democrats won 46%. That's a pretty good margin I would say. There are still a couple of Senate races that have not been decided so we won't know about the Senate until after those have been decided, but we do know the Republicans will be in the majority.

The Republicans control a majority of the state legislatures after last week's election, and the projected sweep of the governorships by the Democrats failed to materialize.
