Tompkins County was the one place I was pretty certain Zephyr Teachout could win when she first announced she'd be challenging Governor Cuomo. I'm sure there are Cuomo fans here, but apparently not very many:
| Candidate | Votes | Percent |
|---|---|---|
| Governor | ||
| Zephyr Teachout | 3266 | 70.8% |
| Andrew Cuomo | 1274 | 27.6% |
| Randy Credico | 67 | 1.45% |
| Lieutenant Governor | ||
| Tim Wu | 3034 | 69.17% |
| Kathy Hochul | 1346 | 30.69% |
Much crazier, though, are the New York Times results maps. Cuomo lost most of the Hudson Valley, and a swathe of counties through Upstate west to Ontario County. Kathy Hochul held the far west of the state for him.
I know it's a Democratic primary with a limited number of voters participating, but I never thought I'd see a map like that.
I'll update this post with final statewide numbers when they're settled.
