Here are the top five stories today in New York City:

1. Republican Lee Zeldin conceded the race for governor to Kathy Hochul on Wednesday, who has won her first full four-year term in Albany. The results were delayed slightly on Tuesday night after Suffolk County Board of Elections workers had difficulty loading memory cards needed to tally the vote, according to reports. (New York City Patch)
2. Democrat Kathy Hochul might have been elected as governor, but election night saw Republicans make some gains throughout the New York City area — including flipping two Congressional seats in Long Island and the suburbs north of the city. Ultimately, Hochul carried the five boroughs by a 70 percent to 30 percent margin. (New York City Patch)
3. Also on election night, NYC voters approved of four ballot measures in wide margins, allowing the government to borrow $4.2 billion in bonds for environmental projects that will protect the region from the effects of climate change, mandating racial equity plans across city agencies, and more. (THE CITY)
4. The MTA is dropping 50,000 limited-edition Dolly Parton metro cards at four Midtown Manhattan train stations, the agency announced. They'll be bedazzled with the singer's signature and the words "Diamonds & Rhinestones," which is the name of her greatest hits album coming out on Nov. 18. (New York City Patch)
5. The man accused of a mass shooting last April in a Brooklyn subway station has requested that his upcoming trial be moved to a court in Illinois, according to a motion filed by his attorneys with the Federal Defenders, who are concerned that media coverage in New York City could mean he doesn't get a fair jury.
