Cuomo should let the seat sit empty for a year. Punish the district for their stupidity.

let's see here...

New York State Population is ~19,750,000, and there are 29 congressional districts. Districts are supposed to be equal population, so one congressional district should be about 1/29 of the state population, which is ~681,035 people. 39,746 votes were cast last night (23,409 for Donovan, 15,808 for Gentile, and 527 for lane per http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2015/by_state/NY_Page_0505.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS .)

So, take 39,746/681,035, and we get 5.84% Turnout. Utterly Pathetic.



WTF? That's not how you calculate turnout. You do realize babies aren't allowed to vote, right?
