From SunSentinel.com:
Media attention has focused mainly on the slam-dunk GOP congressional victories, but the more important results in the long run may involve what happened in state races.
The GOP registered a net gain of 680 legislative seats nationwide, with seven of them coming in Florida. Before Nov. 2, Democrats controlled 27 legislatures to 14 for Republicans. The remainder were split between the two parties, save for nonpartisan Nebraska, which has a unicameral legislature. The election nearly flipped those totals, with Republicans now in complete control of 25 legislatures and Democrats, 16.
