The 1998 New York Attorney General election took place on November 3, 1998 along with elections to the United States Senate in other states as well as elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections. Democratic challenger Eliot Spitzer unseated one-term Republican incumbent Dennis Vacco in a major upset, with Vacco conceding on December 14, after accusing New York City voters, primarily in predominately Black and Latino areas of voter fraud.
