Prepare for bad news

As you may have heard, there's an election today. Everything I'm hearing from the battlegrounds - Long Island, Erie, Monroe - indicates that we didn't perhaps do quite as well as expected.

TAP has an open thread for election results, here.

Results will be forthcoming as they become available.

[Update]: Nassau BOE, Suffolk BOE

[Update 2]: Andrew C. White, blogger extraordinaire running for Town Supervisor in Stephentown, lost. By email:

Supervisor:
White (D) – 417
Sherman ( R ) – 575

Council:
Eckhardt ( R ) – 630
Prescott – ( R ) – 596
Jennings – ( D ) – 413
McEwan – ( D ) – 374

Highway Superintendent:
Gardner ( R ) – 588
Sykes ( D ) – 467

D.A.:
Cholakis ( R ) – 503
McNally ( D ) – 455

Bummer.

[Update 3]: Nassau seems to be holding. Nailbiter for Mejias, results live here Close race in Suffolk's 4th district, with Democrat Brian Beedenbender leading republican Thomas Muratore 51.38% to 48.62%, 36 out of 51 EDs reporting. The actual vote count is 3,971 to 3,757.

[Update 4]: Erie County Exec race, over, we lost. Alan Bedenko, BuffaloPundit, has also conceded. And it looks as if Nassau isn't holding, either.

[Update 5]: Mejias is definitely a nailbiter; 56 out of 57 EDs counted, and Mejias leads 6,108 to 5,847. Democrats have taken the Islip Town Board, lost that of Brookhaven, and expanded the majority in the Suffolk legislature.

[Update 6, final]: The GOP is not conceding the Mejias race and demanding the ballots be impounded. Closer to home, thank you, bigot-enabling Corruptocrat Demotards: Noach Dear, bigot, was elected to a judgeship, 65% to 35%, per Azi. Welcome to New York City, where your Democratic Party has just made gays second-class citizens.

Good news

We did pick up the two seats in the Islip Town Council needed to gain control.
In Nassau, Dave Mejias is a winner (56 of 57 EDs, 261 vote lead), keeping the Nassau County Legislature in Democratic hands.
Beedenbender is also a winner, 52.12%-47.88%.
Nationally, we picked up the Governor's seat in Kentucky.
