"Maybe the Republican candidate sucked."

Mostly a construction accident lawyer, first run for office. I did a search but couldn't find anything in depth on her other than this:

"If elected, Smitelli said she wants to tackle what she believes are the major challenges facing Huntington. This includes pledging to eliminate excessive taxation, receive funds to preserve and protect waterways and our drinking water, increase funding for K-12 extracurricular programs and veer young people away from gangs and opioids by keeping them involved in community programs.

She also said she wants to strengthen the transparency between government and residents by making it easier to access information and calling for reform."

Not too impressive.

And he’ll be adding to that number because he’s ordering that as convicts are being paroled, that they be reviewed and granted voting rights if they meet the criteria. The good thing is that there’s a high percentage of parole violators who go back to NY’s prison.

When you run as a RINO, voters prefer the real Coke.

NY hasn’t had any conservative Republicans to give Democrats a challenge.

No wonder Ds win easily.

“It’s, unfortunately, a minority but there are still millions of decent people left in New York state and city.”

Well, after all the $hit that’s heaped on California, I thought it’d be fun to fling some of it on the other coast! I remember when crossing the SF Bay Bridge years ago, there was a sign showing the declining population of NY and the ascending population of CA. We thought it was great at the time. But little did we know that that declining population was heavily loaded with Liberals who had fouled their NY nests and were headed our way. And yeah, while we do have some home-grown crap like Jerry Brown, we also have Babs Boxer (Brooklyn) and Nazi Pelosi (Baltimore, where she was crowned “Miss Lube Rack” one year) and a whole host of East Coast Liberals who’ve come to CA to “make their mark!”

“It votes Democrat in national elections, so nothing to be concerned about here.”

True, it simply means NY is going to the dogs faster.

This use of the word “flip” needs to stop, a legislative seat is not frigging pancake.

Well, actually Hillary did win the election by 3 million votes, and Comrade Trump stole it from her. That means she really IS a former president, just like Former President Elect Gore.

Yes - and the enemedia will have an endless supply of these stories as Americans continue to evacuate the NYC metro area (the same is happening here in neighboring NJ). As neighborhoods fill with imported consumers the government worker caste (the only whites that can afford to pay the high taxes, while forced to remain for jobs that pay more than they’d ever be worth in the private sector), Democrat domination of the area is guaranteed. Fairly meaningless, considering the Republican candidates now are usually as liberal as the Dems.

This is not a true Republican seat. It is however, a sign that New York State is rolling left at a faster pace. What has to be considered here is that the district is 2 to 1 Democrat.

You would be hard pressed to find more than a few thousand Republicans on all of Long Island. Remember Long Island is the base of the vile Carolyn McCarthy who won a seat in the House of Representatives based solely on her promise to destroy our right to self defense. Long Island along with NYC is a Democrat stronghold.

Big whoop. NYS GOP is an acronymic oxymoron.

NYS is set to lose another 1 to 2 more House seats after the next census. Even less power in the chamber with the power of the purse

Feel better now? :-)

Makers are fleeing the state of New York.

Dems are touting a big victory in a state circling the bowl.

They can have it.

I hate even the lose of 1 seat. I don’t care where it is. We need another 2010 Tea Party to arise like when we took over all those seats. You folks think ow one lose here and one here is ok. I say no it is not.
