Assembly GOP hits 60 seats
Assembly Republicans appear to have hit 60 seats.
In the open 51st District, Howard Marklein had 10,559 votes, or 52 percent, to 9,585 votes, or 48 percent, for John Simonson.
In the 93rd District, Rep. Jeff Smith lost with 10,998 votes to 11,069 votes for Warren Petryk.
Dems seem to have held on to the 42nd and 92nd.
In the 42nd, Rep. Fred Clark had 9,635 votes, of 51 percent, to 9,277 votes, or 49 percent, for Jack Cummings. All but two precincts were in.
In the 92nd, Rep. Mark Radcliffe had 9,079 votes, or 51 percent, to 8,795 votes, or 49 percent, for Dennis Clinard.
Several races could be heading for a recount. In addition to Smith's narrow loss, Rep. Kristen Dexter lost by 87 votes, Rep. Terry Van Akkeren lost by 151 votes.
