Democrat Andrew Cuomo was re-elected to the office of governor for a third term Tuesday. Statewide, according to unofficial results with 15,453 election districts out of 15,529 reporting, Cuomo and his running mate Kathy C. Hochul received 3,352,588 votes — or 57.9 percent of ballots cast.

His Republican challenger — Marc Molinaro and his running mate Julie Killian — received 2,088,381 votes — 36.07 percent of all ballots cast.

Of the other names on the ballot, none received more than 1.65 percent of the votes. That was Howie Hawkins on the Green Party line. Libertarian Larry Sharpe came in at 1.57 percent and Stephanie A. Miner received 0.89 percent.

A look at how the Hudson Valley, Long Island and New York City voted found that both Cuomo and Molinaro won their home counties — Westchester and Dutchess, respectively.

Westchester resident and former Rye city councilwoman Julie Killian did not seem to make much of a difference for Molinaro in Westchester however.

North of Westchester County, Molinaro got the most votes in Columbia, Dutchess, Orange and Putnam counties. The outlier was Ulster County, which votes for Cuomo.
