Election Night Results (Dutchess)

Tallies do not include absentee ballots

Voters had their say on Tuesday (Nov. 3), although thousands of absentee ballots that will be counted next week could tip a few close races.

There were 27,873 absentee ballots returned to the Dutchess County Board of Elections as of Nov. 2, but they can arrive through Nov. 10. More than 33,432 people voted at early voting sites and are included in the totals below. The total vote topped 140,000, or about 8,000 more than were cast in the 2016 presidential election.

There are 194,810 registered voters in Dutchess County and 9,448 in Beacon.

The results below are with 220 of 220 election districts in Dutchess reporting their early and Election Day tallies but do not include absentee ballots, including 14,514 cast by Democrats, 5,130 by Republicans and 6,502 by independents (no party).

I thank the people of New York’s 18th Congressional District for their continued trust. It is the honor of my life to represent Hudson Valley families in Congress. While it will take time to count the absentee ballots, it is clear that once they are counted our margin of victory will only increase. I also thank my opponents, Chele Farley and Scott Smith. It takes courage and commitment to run for a congressional seat, especially in these unprecedented times.”
