No official predictions today as this post being made after polls closed.

Republicans are expected to retain the three main contested statewide offices of Attorney General, Secretary of State and Treasurer. Despite close races in some cases, partisan breakdown remains fairly uniform, it is more a reflection of the crowded nature of some of the jungle primary candidates in October’s races.

Attorney General – Liz Murrill, R vs. Lindsey Cheek, D … October partisan breakdown R 69.3%; D 30.7%

Secretary of State – Nancy Landry, R vs. Gwen Collins-Greenup, D … October partisan breakdown R 68.3%; D 30.4%

Treasurer – John Fleming, R vs. Dustin Granger, D … October partisan breakdown R 68%; D 32%

October’s previous predictions of R legislative control in both chambers won’t be impacted by November run off races since the Republicans already have a majority in both houses

House of Representatives – 105 Seats total. October decided 100 races, of which Republicans won 60, 27 Democrats and runoffs 18

Senate – 39 Seats total. October decided 37 races, of which Republicans won 27, Democrats 10 and 2 runoffs
