The Story of Election Numbers
The Point is Newsday Opinion's daily newsletter on local, city, and state political scenes.
Nassau County returns, as of 5 p.m., are being closely watched. The New York City mayoralty is a dominating story of the 2025 election, with potential implications for 2026, including control of the House of Representatives and the New York governorship.
In Nassau County, three contested countywide races and control of its three towns and two cities are being decided. Any fallout from the NYC election is 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. The Nassau County Board of Elections, however, has announced changes to its process.
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.
