Notes:
* In the Virginia House, the party numbers actually were 50 D, 49 R and 1 I, but the Independent sat with the GOP caucus, tying the chamber.
** The Maine Senate has 35 members, so it technically cannot be tied; however, the Democratic and Republican caucuses were evenly split, and they negotiated a power sharing agreement.
