Hochul won big in Erie and Niagara Counties; Corwin won not quite as big in the rest of the district (Corwin would have won bigger margins there had Davis not gotten over 10% of the vote outside of Erie). There were more votes in Erie + Niagara than in the rest of the district, so Hochul won by around 4% districtwide (Corwin may cut it to 3% when all votes are in).
Now this district will almost certainly be eliminated in redistricting.
They'll cut a D seat and an R seat right? If this counts as the R seat then I'm fine with that. Let's see Hochel lose a primary to Louise Slaughter.
Here’s the most recent. Corwin has narrowed the gap a bit:
U.S. House - District 26 - Special General
County Precincts
