From Stateline.org:
Republicans for the first time in history will control both houses in Tennessee and Oklahoma, after both chambers in Tennessee and the lower house in Oklahoma moved into the GOP column. Both states, though, have Democratic governors.
Colorado is poised to become the first state to have black lawmakers leading both legislative chambers.
The Alabama Legislature, in Democratic hands since 1872, continues its streak as the legislature held the longest by either party in any state. Close behind, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi have been under Democratic control for more than a century.
