US Reps. Langevin and Cicilline reelected; Biden wins state

Joe Biden has handily won Rhode Island and fellow Democrats U.S. Sen. Jack Reed and U.S. Reps. David Cicilline and James Langevin were reelected to Congress Tuesday.

Many other closely watched races in the state, however, remained undecided as vote counting stretched passed midnight in an election that set a new state record for voter turnout.

Republican Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung defeated Democratic House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello, one of Rhode Island’s most powerful politicians.

Rhode Islanders also were passing judgment on a ballot measure that would shorten the state’s official name.

Elections officials cautioned that complete results for some races might not be knowable Tuesday night because of expected tabulation delays.
