Republican candidates swept the district attorney races in Nassau and Suffolk counties on Tuesday, in elections that were seen as a referendum on New York's landmark bail reform law.

In Nassau County, Republican Anne Donnelly took home just over 60% of the vote to defeat Democrat Todd Kaminsky, a state senator and former federal prosecutor, whom she had tied to the controversial measure, which initially did away with pretrial detention and eliminated cash bail for a slate of low-level cases and nonviolent felonies.
