(WHTM) — For many, Election Day was unexpected. But that was mostly at the top of the ticket. The results sent red shockwaves across the Commonwealth, but in Pennsylvania's legislature, not a tremor was felt.

"Given the turmoil at the top of the ticket, you would think that that would trickle down to the lowest level of the races yet on Election Day," said Danielle Gross, the Director of Clear Point Communications. "And it looks like that's not the case."

In the Pennsylvania State House, there will be a one-seat majority for one of the parties. The score is currently 101-101, with all eyes on Cambria County and Democrat incumbent Frank Burns against Republican Amy Bradley.

"They're counting all of those ballots by hand," Gross said. "So that will take a while to get those results, of course. So, if Frank Burns wins reelection, the makeup of the state house is exactly the same."

The same would be a one-seat majority for Democrats and divided-legislature gridlock.

"Democrats saying 'Oh, we passed all these wonderful bills in the House and the Senate doesn't do anything with them in the Senate,' saying the reason we're not doing anything with them is because we don't agree with them," said Chris Nicholas of the Eagle Consulting Group.

In the State Senate, Democrats lost Rep. Jimmy Dillon's seat in Philadelphia but added Rep. Patty Kim's seat in Dauphin County. Republicans hold the advantage, 28-22.

"I'm convinced that we can continue to demonstrate that divided government is not dysfunctional government," said Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman (R). "We will work to compromise where we can, where we see fit. But we're not going to compromise our principles in the electoral mandate that we've been given."

So while voters delivered major change to the nation and the state, they left Harrisburg untouched.

"People will be looking at the numbers, looking at their precincts, trying to figure out what exactly helped Democrats stem the bleeding in the state legislature," said Gross.

Election Day was bipartisanly bloodless, as out of the 228 seats up for grabs. Dillon was the only incumbent to lose.
