DE-GOV: Markell Wins
This was an open-seat race, but you wouldn't know it from the results. Democrat Jack Markell has been called by CNN as the winner and judging from the exit polls he has won a dramatic victory.
Markell follows Ruth Ann Minner's Democratic administration, but he positioned himself as an outsider. It worked. Markell pulled off an upset in the Democratic primary. In the general election, he's beating Bill Lee, the same candidate Minner beat in 2004. Markell, though, is winning in a landslide.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
