Democratic challengers ousted six Republican incumbents on Election Day in the Hamptons and on the North Fork, where the Riverhead Town supervisor’s race is so close it appears to be heading for a recount.
The upsets included elections for town government seats as well as one of two East End seats on the Suffolk County Legislature — a result that strips local Republicans of their current 12-6 supermajority, which means the GOP will need Democratic support to get some bills passed.
