Ulster County 2026 election results: Blue tsunami as voters join the tide of national unrest

As expected, in 2026 the Democrats swept the election of their four statewide candidates. The Ulster County vote is a good predictor of what’s likely to be happening nationally. A Democrat getting more than three-fifths of the countywide vote means it’s likely to be a blue year nationally. A Republican getting more than two-fifths of the countywide vote for state office means it’s going to be a red year.

Newburgh supervisor race separated by just 15 votes

Democrat Stephen Krasner leads Republican Scott Manley by 15 votes in the race to be the next Newburgh town supervisor. According to unofficial totals posted by the Orange County Board of Elections on Nov. 4, Krasner had 5,991 votes while Manley had 5,976 votes. That means the race remains unsettled as absentee ballots are counted. Absentee ballots returned by mail must arrive at the board's office in Goshen by Nov. 10 in order to be counted. Krasner issued a statement after he was contacted by the Times Herald-Record on Nov. 4. "I am optimistic about how the final results will turn out, but it's important to allow the process to play out and ensure every vote is accurately counted before drawing conclusions," Krasner said in his statement. Krasner, a senior legal professional experienced in complex litigation, is making his third run for town supervisor. He previously ran unsuccessful campaigns in 2009 and 2011. He is opposed by Manley, a retired Town of Newburgh police sergeant who was first appointed a councilman on the Town Board in 2015. He was elected to the post later that year and has since been elected to two more four-year terms. What the candidates said:
