This map shows how Susan Collins’ electoral firewall crumbled in York County and other parts of Maine

In her previous five races for the U.S. Senate, Susan Collins had never lost York County. Her ability to overperform other Republicans in the southernmost part of Maine’s left-leaning 1st Congressional District served as an electoral firewall of sorts, helping power Collins to a string of victories over her 30-year Senate career.

Democrats score big in New Hampshire: Splaine

Like many political addicts, I didn't get much sleep on election night. After voting at Portsmouth's New Franklin School, I went home, prepared a snack, and began watching television well into the morning, with more snacks periodically. I dozed off with the TV still on. Around 6 a.m., some loud cheers at yet another victory party woke me up, and the channel I was watching ran a summary of results nationwide. Then it came to me that darn it, I won't be getting that $5,000 . While the change in Congress is a political earthquake that hasn't been seen in Washington for decades, a similar flip for Democrats will hit our State House come December, and into the New Year. There's much good news for Democrats , and for democracy. For the first time in a decade, Democrats have strong majorities in both the N.H. House and Senate. They also took all five seats of the Executive Council, including newcomer Lisa Kennedy Sheldon of Portsmouth. That body controls many appointments to judgeships, state department head positions and budgetary spending approvals. The Senate has 15 Democrats to 9 Republicans, and Rebecca Perkins Kwoka will be Senate President. She brings three terms
