Have been waiting patiently for our electoral muezzins to count in-person and absentee votes in local election (we all know what happened in the general) – and finally the results are in officially.
My locals – all seats – returned firmly to the R!!!
See 11 congressional district: : Nicole Malliotakis (R) took over from Rose (D) with 57.9% over his 42.1%;
22 State Senate district: Vito Bruno (R) beaten Gounardes (D) with 54% over 46%;
46 State Assembly district: Mark Szuszkiewicz (R) won the seat from Frontus (D) with 54.3% vs. 45.7%
One Brooklyn paper (“Gotham”) called us an “anomaly pocket”…indeed.
The problem I’m mulling over now: should I trust this state of affairs to last longterm or disregard it and contemplate transition to milder climes, anyway. Or, worse yet, am I already too late.
