Tuesday was a special election for an open upstateÂ(*)Republican seat in the New York State Senate, and Democrat Darrel Aubertine won 52%-48%.
How big a win was that?

No Democrat has held the North Country seat for at least a century and enrollment appeared to favor Barclay 78,454 Republicans to 46,824 Democrats
</p>

which translates to a GOP registration edge of 49%-29%. When was the last time a Democrat won a district like that anywhere in the country???
