MAP: Where the Georgia Senate balance of power stands now
ATLANTA - Vote tabulations continued Wednesday across Georgia to settle partisan control of the state Legislature, where all 236 General Assembly seats will dictate the legislative agenda for the next two years.
Georgia Senate chamber control
What we know:
Republicans entered Wednesday defending their working majorities across the 56-seat chamber, according to state election reporting. The Associated Press officially called District 1 for Republican Sen. Ben Watson at 1:02 a.m. on Nov. 4 after 99% of ballots were tabulated.
Three other Senate candidates secured automatic victories after running unopposed in their respective districts. Sen. Derek J. Mallow captured District 2, Sen. Mike Hodges claimed District 3, and Sen. Billy Hickman secured District 4 without facing ballot challengers.
Uncalled Georgia legislative races
What we don't know:
Election officials have not yet declared final winners in several tightly contested districts where vote counts remain uncompleted. Key suburban matchups across metro Atlanta still hold uncalled margins that could shift the overall chamber majority as tallying finishes.
