Governor Results are In! How did Your Upstate NY County Vote?

If you went out and voted yesterday, you did your civic duty - and congratulations to Governor Kathy Hochul who on Tuesday became New York’s first female elected governor.

It's the day after Election Day and naturally, some of us are feeling pretty good this morning, some not so much, but regardless, we'll be okay.

And if you look at a breakdown of Upstate NY Counties, you'll see a pretty wide split among Capital Region residents who voted for Governor, in fact, 6 of 9 counties in our area didn't vote for the winner.

According to the New York Times, about 95% of the total gubernatorial election votes had been counted overnight when they distributed the voting data throughout the State of New York.

But what about the 9 counties that make up the Capital Region, and how did each one of them vote?
