In 2016, Frank Spotorno (R) got 30,545 votes (17%) to Joseph Crowley (D) 147, 587 (82.9%).
However, there were certainly Italians who voted for their homeboy instead of the Mick, which brought the Republican numbers up somewhat.
In 2014, there was no Republican candidate. In 2012, the Republican got 12%.
Donald Trump got 22% of the vote in the 2016 Presidential election in NY 14.
As I have often said, Trump was, in effect, elected by Democrats. If Trump's numbers had been made up only of Republican voters, he would have been crushed.

You’re right, and the Dem leadership took note. They’ve been running “Operation anti-Trump 24/7/365” since even prior to the 2016 election, and now they’ve doubled down on the “fake news” BS. Just saw news yesterday the “Emmet Till” case was being re-opened; this sad story from decades ago in a southern state is just being re-hashed to get those blacks back into line. They could’ve delivered PA, MI, and WI to Hillary - and they didn’t.
