According to our analysis down to the state House District level, Abercrombie won all but two areas, and another hot race for congress showed the Republican candidate winning only a handful of districts.
We combed through 550 pages of polling-place-level voting data to see what trends emerged from the 2010 General Election.
In a race for governor that at times polled head to head, it was nothing but at the end with Neil Abercrombie topping Duke Aiona 58 to 41 percent.
The Democrat's commanding lead seemed to carry just about statewide.
Republican Aiona won only a North Shore house district thanks to a significant share of votes in the Kahuku area, and also the Kapolei/Makakilo district.
Aiona lost by just 3 votes in Ewa Beach.
Abercrombie won every other Oahu district and made a clean sweep of the neighbor islands.
The Democratic Party of Hawaii said "The fact that his message resonated so strongly with people across the State shows that it is truly a new day in Hawaii."
The Republican Party said "We'll be looking at not only where Mr. Aiona won but also where he came close as we look to field candidates in future elections."
As for another closely watched race, this one for Washington, Democrat Colleen Hanabusa carried every state House District in the first congressional, with Republican Charles Djou coming out on top only in East Honolulu, Mililani and Ewa Beach.
The Democratic party calls that outcome a "decisive victory" for Congresswoman Hanabusa.
The Republican Party said "it took 1.4 million dollars in outside spending to get that decisive victory in what is supposed an already blue state."
As for turnout at the polls, it reached just under 56 percent of registered voters.
Top turnout at the polls on election day was at Cooper Center on the Big Island, frequently on the "tops" list; also Niu Valley, Waikapu on Maui, Mililani Uka on Oahu and Kaumakani on Kauai.
Lowest turnout at the polls was all on Oahu at Aliamanu, Ala Wai/Ala Moana, Waikiki, Waipahu, Makiki.
And the final verdict on absentee voting, which was predicted to head as high as 50 percent in this election? It didn't. About 42 percent of voters voted early through mail or walk-in for this General Election, down from 44 percent voting absentee in the primary.
