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:

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.
