Well, it's official, NY is bucking the national trend to an extent. In Virginia and New Jersey, independent voters broke heavily for the Republicans, leading to one expected and one surprising victory in gubernatorial races. But in New York, good old liberal New York, Democrats voted for Democrats, independents voted for Democrats, and even Republicans voted for Democrats. New York remains liberal Democratic.

I said it after the 2008 election and after the Murphy special election...can we PLEASE stop lying about how upstate is "heavily Republican". It is NOT TRUE anymore, no matter what the old enrollments say. It's not brain surgery or rocket science.
