From KOLO-TV:
While Democrats are confident the Nov. 4 election results will leave them solidly in control of the Nevada Assembly, Republicans aren’t so sure about retaining their bare 11-10 control of the state Senate.
Assembly Democrats, who already have a 27-15 edge over Republicans, are looking to pick up from one to three more seats. Gaining just one seat would give Democrats the 28 seats needed for a supermajority – the number needed to override a veto by Republican Gov. Jim Gibbons. They say their worst-case scenario is retaining their current, overwhelming margin.
In the Senate, Democrats don’t have a shot at a supermajority, but are making a strong bid for two seats now held by Republican Sens. Bob Beers and Joe Heck.
