Going into Election Night, the Democrats held 26 AG seats to the Republicans' 24. The Democrats' lead in popularly elected AGs was narrower -- 22 seats to 21.
On Election Night, the GOP flipped open seats Arkansas and Nevada, pullling the GOP into a narrow lead.
Both parties kept the competitive seats that Governing had considered to be leaning in their direction prior to Election Day. The GOP kept a Republican-held open seat in Colorado and protected vulnerable incumbents in Florida, Georgia and Michigan.
The Democrats, for their part, retained an open seat in New Mexico and won a new term in Rhode Island.
The GOP's strongest showings were in the tossup races. There were four: the GOP flips in Arkansas and Nevada, and two open seats in Arizona and Wisconsin that Republicans managed to hold.
