York, an attorney who was endorsed by the state Democratic party, had both outraised and outspent McGuiness during the campaign. York previously served as one of three of Delaware's Democratic presidential electors in 2016. She will now face Republican Janice Lorrah, also a political newcomer, in the November general election.
McGuiness is the first statewide elected official in Delaware's history to be found guilty of criminal charges while in office. She is awaiting sentencing on misdemeanor counts of conflict of interest and official misconduct - charges that stemmed from the hiring of her daughter as a part-time employee in the auditor's office.
"McGuiness has got legal issues ... It seems pretty serious," said Melanie Eleuterio, 69, a retired school psychologist from Magnolia who voted for York. Even before Delawareans began heading to the polls, thousands had already cast ballots. Almost 12,000 absentee and vote-by-mail ballots had been returned by Tuesday afternoon, and more than 4,800 people took advantage of early in-person voting under a law that came into effect this year.
