From KnoxNews.com:
Republicans begin the campaign for partisan control over the 107th General Assembly with a substantial head start over Democrats in the number of races already decided in their favor.
In the state House, where 50 seats are needed for a majority, Republicans already have won 30. In the Senate, where 17 seats constitute a majority, they are assured of having 14 when the next Legislature convenes in January.
Democrats, on the other hand, are assured of having 18 seats in the House and nine in the Senate.
