Queens used to be good for the GOP. Eisenhower won it, and so did Nixon. The 2025 NYC mayoral election will be very interesting. What about the Jewish areas? Queens was heavily white at the time, now it is ~20% white. |

In the context of House of Representatives races, New York has heavily bucked the trend due to 4 (projected; 3 have been confirmed but New York's 4th has not declared yet) Democrat gains from the Republicans (counting New York's 3rd congressional district where Democrat Tom Suozzi held the seat he gained in a special election following George Santos' expulsion from Congress) with no Republican gains from the Democrats. I believe that the fact Donald Trump's convictions were by a New York court was a significant factor, the fact that some House seats outside New York are expected to be Democrat gains from Republican (e.g. Oregon's 5th congressional district) notwithstanding.

Did the Democrats also not get to redraw the maps a bit more in their favour here? Albeit not at previous gerrymandering level attempts

Trump surge with Asian Americans was real. It's been a long time since NYC Republicans were competitive outside Staten Island, sans Mayoral elections, of course.

Staten Island lurches to the right. Bigger story is the other boroughs. Manhattan stays resolutely Democratic - strongest borough. The best Republican showing since 1988.

Topkins County (Ithaca) - Cornell University counter-swing. That's Yates County which swung towards Harris. Not 100% sure on why, but think it being in the finger lakes region and having a number of wineries means there's an above average emloyment in tourism. Would fit the pattern as a lot of Mid-West counties with a decent tourism industry also swung to the Dems this year (NW Michigan, Door County Wi, Cook County MN). |

Thought it was Tompkins County |

The New York State Board of Elections website shows 102,231 write-ins were cast for President last week. The State Board still hasn’t got the number of write-ins for each of the declared write-in presidential candidates. But the very large number of write-ins shows that election officials have gone to a great deal of work, and will continue until the tally is done. Each one of those write-ins must be examined by an election administration employee. This is far more expensive and time-consuming than processing votes for candidates whose names are on the ballot.
The write-in total is 1.28% of the total votes cast.

Write ins should only be fully tallied if the total number of writes ins is enough to provide a potential winner If a write-in vote counts as a valid vote for someone, it should be counted and tallied fully and properly. The problem is not in the tallying; it is in the possibility of write-in votes in the first place. |

The problem is not in the tallying; it is in the possibility of write-in votes in the first place. Yes but you one of those idiots who think elections exist to provide statistics. In reality elections exist to elect someone to office. When Lisa Murkowski was re-elected to the Senate as a write in candidate in 2010 Alaska officials quite sensibly simply counted the total number of write in ballots to see if there were enough for Murkowski, or indeed any other write in candidate, to win. Only after determining that did they engage in the lengthy process of examining all such ballots and counting the relevant ones as votes for Murkowski. |
