Sanford and Springvale voters chose Joseph Biden by a slim margin over Donald Trump in Tuesday’s election. The ultimate winner of that race has not yet been determined.
Susan Collins had a larger level of support over Sara Gideon, and Ms. Gideon has conceded in that race.
Chellie Pingree retained her seat in the US House of Representatives, although the vote was much closer in Sanford than in District 1 as a whole.
The official tally is detailed below. A total of 11,040 ballots were cast in the election, of which 6,595 were absentee. There were 15,303 registered voters in Sanford and Springvale as of November 1, but a record number of new voters registered on Election Day. Voter turnout was approximately 72%.
