Dem Murphy Wins Special Election

Ny-20 was supposed to be a Republican held congressional seat. They have been traditionally republican. They had the voter advantage. It is a conservative area. Their candidate had name recognition. But now that people have been seeing what and who they are, they ain't getting the votes.

Murphy (dem) beat Tedisco (repub) by some 200-300 votes. It was after the absontee ballots were counted that Murphy went ahead and never looked back.

Over at FirstRead:

"Although the late Friday concession, as well as the nearly four weeks of overtime, might have lessened the sting, let’s make no mistake: The Republicans’ loss in NY-20 was yet another blow to an already-bruised GOP."

How many of the 29 house seats do the GOP control after 4 years of getting trounced at the ballot box? 3! Only 3 repubs remain in the state of New York. A saaaaaddddd state of affairs for the GOP.
