Concerning races in MA have turned out well--Barney Frank, John Tierney, Niki Tsongas have all won re-election, and Bill Keating wins in MA-10. Stephen Lynch won re-election in MA-09 (Needham's district). 

Question 2 and 3 (affordable housing and repeal sales tax) have been DEFEATED (good!), while Question 1 (repeal alcohol sales tax) has passed (boo). [UPDATE: all 3 DEFEATED in Needham].  Needham's non-binding resolution re: legalizing pot PASSED.


Martha Coakley has won re-election for Attorney General, Steven Grossman won State Treasurer, Bill Galvin won Sec. of State.

It looks like Suzanne Bump will win Auditor, though it hasn't been declared official by AP/Boston.com yet. [UPDATE: It's official--Bump is Auditor. Connaughton, however, won in Needham]

For District Attorney--Michael Morrissey beat Jack Coffey, though in Needham Jack Coffey won by around 200 votes.
