Some icing on Didi Barrett’s campaign cake: Final results indicate that once all ballots were counted in her re-election race, she prevailed in both of the counties which comprise her Assembly District.
On Election Day, Barrett showed a decent lead in Dutchess, but Mike Kelsey made the race competitive by leading in Columbia. Now that absentee ballots have been counted, it appears that Barrett also narrowly won in the more northward county, by 15 votes (5,682-5,667).
