Although some analysts had also originally predicted for the race to be competitive, especially during the final days, but Benson's performance had seemingly outperformed the polls following the election. The results had held the largest margin in the 2022 state elections, as well as the worst performance any Republican candidate had performed in the Secretary of State election since 1990. It is also the first time since 1990 where a Democratic candidate won re-election.
