Massachusetts official results
Counts exactly as Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth reports them, with a link to the official source.
Unofficial results until certified. These are counts as published by the official state election authority on election night. Counts change as ballots are counted. Power & Politics does not call races or project winners. Where news organizations' projections are shown, each is labeled as that outlet's and kept apart from the official record.
