I think you meant to say Cuomo must have carried the 25th.
I continue to be blown away by Kakto’s margin of victory in the 24th, according to an article, Maffei carried only Syracuse itself (getting a slightly higher % there than Cuomo did) and it’s adjacent suburb, the town of DeWitt, Kakto took every other town.
“I think you meant to say Cuomo must have carried the 25th.”
Oops, of course. Astorino carried Monroe County, but not by enough for him to have been able to carry the CD once the GOP exurbs were sloughed off.
I would love to see redistricters combine Rochester, Syracuse, Ithaca and Binghampton into an über-Democrat octopus (connected with Democrat Finger Lakes towns such as Auburn; it would leave adjacent CDs comfortably Republican. Stupid urban voters.
BTW, do you have a link to the 2014 election data by town for Upstate NY?
