ATLANTA - Georgia Democrats were unable to put a dent in the General Assembly's Republican majorities in Tuesday's legislative elections.
After the dust settled from Election Night, Republicans remained in control of the Georgia Senate with the same 33-23 majority the GOP enjoyed going into this week. The only seat Republicans lost in the state House of Representatives went to a candidate running as an independent, leaving Democrats with the same 78 seats to 101 for the GOP.
