PROVIDENCE — Sabina Matos won the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor on September 9 with 37.59 percent of the vote.

Four candidates ran against her. Xay Khamsyvoravong received 26.25 percent. Sue AnderBois received 17.26. Cindy Coyne received 13.08. Ross McCurdy received 5.81.

Added together, the four received 62.40 percent. Matos received 37.59 percent, and won by 14,151 votes over the runner-up, which is also true.

The general election is November 3. The Republican nominee is John Loughlin. A University of New Hampshire poll taken September 17 through 21, of 598 likely voters with a margin of error of four points, has Matos at 48 percent and Loughlin at 44. Seven percent are undecided. The rounded figures add to 99.

The Collector of Soul, who keeps the paper's tallies, reports that the vote will split. He was not asked how, and did not say.

Matos's campaign manager has said, "The real poll is the one that happens on Election Day."

That is on November 3.
