Democrats appear to have flipped a Republican-held North Fork seat in the Suffolk County Legislature on Election Day, which – if the lead holds – would strip the GOP of their current supermajority.
Southold Town Councilman Greg Doroski declared victory over first-term Suffolk County Legislator Catherine Stark (R-Riverhead) in the first district representing the towns of Southold and Riverhead, although Suffolk County Republican Committee Chair Michael Torres called the race “too close to call.” Doroski had a nearly 1,000-vote lead with 52% of the vote over Stark’s 47%, according to unofficial early vote tallies that the Suffolk County Board of Elections released.
