Republicans' heavy presence on the state level could allow the party to preserve, or add, between 15 and 25 U.S. House seats through redistricting.

Republicans saw a net gain of at least 680 seats in state legislatures, giving them control of chambers in Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the NCSL reported.

Election results so far have Republicans in charge of 54 legislative chambers, with Democrats controlling 38 and two chambers with a partisan split -- the Alaska Senate and the Oregon House. Control of four chambers remains undecided.

* Republicans win at least 18 state legislative chambers

* Republicans now control 54 state legislative chambers

* Gains may help Republicans pick up more U.S. House seats
