Initial Results Show Four of Five State Regulators Go to Democrats

According to unofficial results, Democrats took four out of five state races for top insurance regulator posts in Tuesday's balloting. 
 
Voters elected first-term Democrats Karen Weldin Stewart in Delaware, Monica Lindeen in Montana and Wayne Goodwin in North Carolina, and Democratic incumbent Mike Kreidler in Washington. 
 
Republican appointee Adam Hamm was narrowly elected to his first elected term in North Dakota with 50.3% of the vote, so a recount is possible, according to the state's secretary of state.
