(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) Some preliminary results: The Hillsborough transit tax lost 3 to 2. Early this morning, House Transportation Chair Jim Oberstar narrowly lost to Republican Chip Cravaack. High speed rail opponents Scott Walker (Wisconsin) and John Kasich (Ohio) won, and Rick Scott (Florida) is ahead, though that race hasn't been called.

High speed rail proponent Jerry Brown wins in California, and transit advocate John Hickenlooper will be the next Colorado governor.

More results, and analysis, later.
