2010 Gubernatorial County Subdivision Maps

New County Subdivision maps have been added for New England States (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, and Rhode Island) for the 2010 General Election contests for Governor.  At right is the results for the three-way Gubernatorial contest in Maine – a close win by Republican Paul LePage over Independent candidate Eliot Cutler and Democratic candidate Libby Mitchell.  LePage won with 38% of the vote to 36% for Cutler and 19% for Mitchell.  LePage dominated the inland towns, while Cutler won in many of the coastal communities.  Libby won in the far north and Native American townships.

A second three-way race in the 2010 General Election took place in Rhode Island, where Independent Lincoln Chafee won a three way contest against Republican candidate John Robitaille and Democratic candidate Frank Caprio.  Chafee won with only 36% of the vote.  Robitaille had 34% and Caprio received 23%.  Chafee won the Providence area and south coast, Caprio took three communities north and west of Providence, while Robitaille won the North and West of the state.

The contests in both  Connecticut  and  Vermont were very competitive – Democratic candidate Dan Malloy won in the Constitution State over Republican Tom Foley by a mere 6,404 votes (49.5% to 49.0%).  In the Green Mountain State, Democrat Peter Shumlin won over Republican challenger Brian Dubie by 4,331 votes (49.5% to 47.7%).

In Massachusetts, Democratic incumbent Deval Patrick was reelected with a plurality of 48.4%. Republican Charlie Baker was second with 42%, Independent Tim Cahill had 8%, and Green-Rainbow candidate Jill Stein received 1.4%.

The only New England state to have a 2010 Gubernatorial winner with a majority of the vote was New Hampshire, where incumbent Democrat John Lynch won his third reelection bid – this time with a significantly smaller margin against Republican John Stephen (52.6% to 45.0%).  Libertarian John Babiarz received 2.2%.
