Massachusetts elected Malden Democrat Edward Markey by a large margin in Tuesday’s special election for US Senate, but Canton supported his opponent, Republican businessman Gabriel Gomez.
Of 4,750 ballots cast, Gomez received 2,500 or about 53 percent of the vote, with Markey getting 2,223 votes, or about 47 percent.
Voter turnout was about 33 percent, according to Canton’s Town Clerk.
