Segment 1

Control of the Mississippi House of Representatives remained in question Wednesday as ballot counting continued in tight races. Republican officials, confident that GOP candidates would prevail, claimed they had a majority.

Republicans needed to pick up eight seats to claim control of the 122-seat House for the first time since Reconstruction.
