The 2025 New York City mayoral election is a dominant story, with potential implications for the 2026 House of Representatives and New York governorship elections.
In Nassau County, three contested countywide races and control of its three towns and two cities are being decided, with any fallout from the NYC election likely to be immediate and quantifiable.
Returns are expected to start flowing after 9 p.m., with the Suffolk County Board of Elections posting timely numbers, while the Nassau County Board of Elections has changed its procedure.
The notoriously slow Nassau County Board of Elections says it will no longer wait for a Nassau police officer to drive the electronic "sticks" holding the data from each voting machine to Mineola.
