A solid Republican majority in New Canaan made winners of nearly all GOP candidates in town on Election Day. GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Foley nearly doubled the vote of Democratic challenger Dan Malloy in New Canaan, according to unofficial numbers from the town registrars office. The same held true for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon, who easily outpaced Democrat Richard Blumenthal. William Tong, running for a state representative in the 147th district, was the only Democrat to emerge victorious, beating petitioning candidate Dennis Mahoney by only 39 votes.
Heres how New Canaan voted on Tuesday. (Combined totals from all three districts, absentee votes included.)
