NY-09, Special Election Thread

[krazen1211]

dedicated to all my critics (hope you have fun tomorrow, because the Jewish Community will be happy though we would have been much happier if this election was not necessary (and I wasn't referring to Weiner's problems (though that too)))
just to repost some of the comments that were said after I made my prediction on August 11th that this will be won based on marriage redefinition (now even a Philip Goldfeder (Orthodox politician running for the 23 Assembly district) is trying to separate him self from Weprin based on that)

Careful you don't go throwing up on yourself with all that spinning you're doing there.

That's the third time you post this nonsense. I think we got the message, so please take your idiocy and get the hell out of here.

((((()((())(((

More funnies. Great to see who was correct every step of the way.

Behavior of that sort doesn't do anyone any favours.

Anyways, that's quite a bit closer, right? The same thing happened in this district at the last normal election. So... if his election had been a tad closer, would it have bee possible for a wrong winner to declare victory and get seated (I think that's the American term)?

[NY Jew]

here are some sampling of how much Turner won by in some Orthodox areas (in Brooklyn I didn't do 41 and 59) (there are also other majority Orthodox Jewish EDs in Queens and also a significant amount Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn under Ave T (though not a majority))
Turner won
by 603 votes in the 44th AD (8 EDs)
by 90 votes in the 47th AD (2 EDs)
by 745 votes in the 48th AD (9 EDs)
by 1903 votes in the 45th AD in all EDs that cover ground above Ave T (25 EDs)
by 896 votes in Kew Garden Hills EDs in the 27th (12) (in the most Jewish one of all these Turner won by 251 votes)

total of all these 4237 more votes for Turner then Weprin

final results of the entire election Turner won by 3686 votes

in short there is no way that Turner Wins with out the Orthodox vote which came primarily due to marriage redefinition.

Correct verb American style, but no. It is highly unlikely that Turner would have been seated if there were some loose ends. The Dems would have howled. It would have required them to have been silent. But if he were "seated," and the numbers were reversed, he would have been "unseated."

Those uncounted precincts seemed to have never been counted, however (I checked and the numbers did not increase). They must have merged precincts, and nobody told AP. Thus the margin was less, because the "uncounted" were mostly in the Pubbie zone.

Woah, this is still relevant?

Woah, this is still relevant?

yes while this district is unique, the demographics that won it in this district are spread throughout the North East and i  can see similar results to this in a few other North East Districts on all levels of government depending how redistricting goes. (and assuming the Republicans in the North East can grow a brain they can start winning other CDs in the North East)
