Unfortunately in ny, voters are too dumb to realize what we are all in for. The big cities run the state. Maybe someday it will change, but people on the conservative side are leaving. If we stay and fight the battle, who knows maybe in time it will change.
We are unlucky to have Austin so close to our districts, and that allows the hippies and ut students to vote for the libs here. One state house rep race was too close to call after Nov 2, by 15 votes for the (d) and the recount showed the (d) lead had decreased to 12 votes.
BUT, the (d) election clerk did not count all the military ballots properly. Instead she counted only the for said candidate, even though most of the ballots were straight (R) in all the statewide and national races. Hopefully, the state legislature will seat the (R) house rep because of that.
