Never mind...Mansfield came in with another ~2,500 votes from same-day registration after these numbers had been published. Not seeing how to hide this post and I don't want to delete it right now.
Local media had not mentioned anything about the outstanding ballots yet to be counted.
This is a seat that was gerrymandered like 30 years ago to be a safely Democratic seat as Don Williams was rising in the senate leadership.
Mae Flexer continued to win it, with her first race for the open seat being close (2.1ppt victory, when Don had last won by 24.8ppt); then safe reelections around 10%. Once she showed some weakness in 2020 with a 4.4ppt victory, the Greens decided to also start running -- and in 2024 the Greens siphoning votes delivered the seat to the Republicans.
It has a line of Reagan Democrat towns along RI, then a string of smaller Republican towns, then two large towns each with a state university.
