Voting was brisk all day on Tuesday. The rain couldn’t keep people away from the polls, and, as you can see from the color-coded winners (In the town of Orange), many Orangeites stuck to their Republican roots and voted for the GOP candidates.
Although, as of 6 a.m. we still do not know who our new governor is, the race continues to be very tight between Lamont and Stefanowski. (Lamont ahead by 10,000 votes).
UPDATE: At around 9 a.m. Lamont was declared the winner and Stefanowski conceded.
Some districts did not submit their results yet, among the issues, wet ballots — what? Yes, some ballots got wet after voters came into possession of them, and their rain-soaked jackets, dripping hair, etc, changed the texture of the ballots, and they wouldn’t go into the machines — that means hand-counting each one.
Orange’s results do not necessarily reflect the actual winner where a candidate, such as James Maroney, represents other cities or towns as well.
We’ve heard that Maroney defeated Pam Staneski overall, in spite of the tremendous support Staneski received in Orange.
Secretary of the State Denise Merrill kept her seat, defeating Susan Chapman.
In Washington, Democrats took over the House, while Republicans retained control of the Senate.
