Republicans retain power in states despite Democratic push

After a costly and intense political battle for control of state capitols, the composition of state legislatures and governors' offices will look a lot like it did before Tuesday's elections. "When you look at state legislative races, a lot of money got spent, a lot of turnout was had, and yet the end result was pretty much where we started," said Wendy Underhill, director of elections and redistricting at the National Conference of State Legislatures. Heading into Tuesday, Republicans had full control of 29 state legislatures compared to 19 for Democrats.
