After the November 2006 general election, this claim will be judged TRUE if at least 50 seats of the newly-elected Senate (i.e. the Senators just elected to the 110th Congress, plus those in seats not up for election) are held by members of the Republican Party.
Otherwise (if Republicans hold 49 or fewer seats in the newly-elected Senate), this claim will be judged FALSE.
This claim shall be judged after at least two of the following organizations consistently report at least 50 seats in the newly elected Senate held by Republicans or at least 51 by non-Republicans, and none of others actively dispute those results: C-SPAN, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, The New York Times, The Washington Post.
