Oh I know there are liberals in Binghamton...but I was arguing That the vote tallies in the Broome Tioga region are strongly region are strongly Republican while the downstate region and Ithaca tend to tally liberal.

I grew up in Binhamton, going to North High School. I know the people and culture. We were very unhappy when in 1990 Cuomo when he created the then 26th district that he lumped us in with the very liberal catskill region which had a greater population, in stead of hooking us up with a more western district that included Elmira and a very pro Republican part of the state. Redistricting has happened again and at least my home in Tioga county is now out of Hinchey's district by an even stranger gerry mander that put my part of Tioga county(not all of Tioga) into S. Boelert's camp(which really did us conservatives no big favor).
