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.
