Since NY District 9 is going to be re-districted anyway, did Democratic

[monmouth]

voters stay away from the polls because of it? I'm just curious what the turnout was for Democrats.

1. Even if it was a throwaway, it is not one we should have lost

[joeybee12]

Exactly, because it gives Fox Noise a talking point to hammer away at for months...nt

2. Let's skip teaching little Johnny about playing with matches. The house burned down anyway.

[Broderick]

3. Well it is 3 to 1 democrats in that district

I think a lot of Democrats voted against their best interests.

[HappyMe]

4. Who knows why they stayed away.

Foolish of them to do so.

[FarLeftFist]

5. This was a low turnout for both sides.

Plus the GOP used scare tactics.

6. It is a lot worse then what you think

Republican control the NY State Senate, so any redistricting plan has to have GOP support. NY is losing two congressional seats, so the assumption is that there will be a compromise where one Democratic district and one Republican district will be eliminated. If Wepran had won, his district would likely had been eliminated as would an upstate Republican one. Now that the 9th is a GOP district, Democrats will have to put a different district on the chopping block.
