What Went Down On Election Night 2017

Bangor joins the ranks of Maine towns reporting — and it voted 67 percent in favor of Question 2. Clinton won 62 percent of the major-party votes there, and she won the state — so Question 2 continues to modestly outperform the 2016 Democratic nominee.

Murphy is currently only up by 9 points in New Jersey. That will almost certainly expand as we get more votes from urban and suburban areas around New York City. Just now Hudson County returned some votes, and Murphy’s lead statewide jump by 3 points!

New York City is also becoming more polarized — while de Blasio is ahead by almost 30 points citywide, Nicole Malliotakis is ahead in Staten Island by almost 45 points.
