For the New York U.S. Senate Seat, Incumbent Charles Schumer appears to have defeated Republican Jay Townsend with 65% of the votes to 33%. These reports only include 84% of reported votes, but are enough to project Schumer as the winner. Schumer won in all counties except for Hamilton, Wyoming, Allegany, and Tioga.
For the other New York Senate race, Incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand held onto her seat which was originally Hillary Clinton’s. Gillibrand defeated DioGuardi with 61% of the votes to 37%.
For the New York Governor’s race, recent polls had shown Democrat Andrew Cuomo leading Republican Carl Paladino with 58% of the votes to 33%. It turns out that these polls were pretty accurate as well. With 86% of votes reported, Cuomo is leading Paladino with 62% of the votes to Paladino’s 34%.
It appears as though the Democrats took the 3 major elections in New York State.
