How NYC voted, borough by borough: Hochul won four boroughs, Staten Island went for Blakeman and said no to all five Charter questions

Gov. Kathy Hochul won a second full term on Tuesday, and New York City gave her a big part of her margin. With 97% of the city's scanners reported shortly after midnight, Hochul had 76.1% of the city vote to Republican Bruce Blakeman's 23.7%, according to unofficial results from the city Board of Elections. Statewide, with 12,144 of 13,187 election districts reporting, she led 59.2% to 39.6%, the state Board of Elections showed early Wednesday.

All numbers here are unofficial. Absentee, mail, military and affidavit ballots are still being counted, and the state board says its statewide totals do not yet include a significant number of emergency ballots from Westchester County. Results are certified later in November.
