    In a statement late Tuesday night, Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said while the results of some elections are still being determined, “at least 32 Senate Democratic Conference members have already won election tonight.” Elections have not yet been called in many races, but Democrats say they could have as many as 39 seats, several more than the minimum needed to rule the chamber.

    “While tonight’s results are disappointing, the Senate Republican Conference will continue to be a strong and important voice in Albany,” Republican Senate Leader John Flanagan said. “When we need to push back, we will push back. And where we can find common ground, we will always seek it.”

    Anyone who still believes that frumme yiden vote Republican this was a rude awakening. Brooklyn where the majority of frumme live, Williamsburg, Boro Park, Flatbush etc did not get a single Republican elected for any office. The same with other county’s like Monsey , 5 towns etc. In fact the NY,NJ Metropolitan area where Most Frumme Yiden live in the USA all voted Democrat as predicted.

    There is not a single congressional District in the USA with A Yeshivah who voted Republican. If you don’t believe me just check it. Even out of town Yeshivas like Miami, Cleveland, Baltimore etc every single District with a Yeshivah voted Democrat. It looks like all this ” Frumme Yiden vote republican” narischkeits was a nothing more than a Republican operation to try to convince us otherwise.

    As a registered Republican since 1976, I am frustrated by the NY State Republican party, that they “give in” to the Democrats. They have not put up a fight for state-wide office since Pataki stepped down in 2006. In my congressional district, the Democrat ran unopposed.
