Hey Nancy,

Keep your laws off my BODY!

Hey Dems,

Why are you pushing so hard for the government that you feared would track the library books you checked out to have their hands on your medical records?

The 23rd district has been redistricted several times. I’m counting 17 Democrats that have served in this seat since the Civil War.

Now of course the redistricting is the key factor here. Are you going to count people that only won in NY-23 without a redstricting?

It’s really impossible to do. The region has been redistricted 7 times since 1965. Given the fact that NY keeps losing population it will be redistricted again.

If this were a Senate seat that hadn’t gone D or R since reconstruction this might be a legitimate point. However House seats never have a true historical track records given census trends redistricting counties, partial counties etc.
