NY-09, Special Election Thread

[rbt48]

Interesting tidbit about NY-9:

53.8% born in state
4.0% born in a different state
2.1% born abroad to American parents
40.1% foreign born

The bolded must be among the lowest in the country.

I'd guess Hal Rogers district in KY, or TN-1 have similarly low percentages born in a different state.

Say, are most of the foreign born in NY-9 Asians?

I think if Weprin can win the remainder of Queens by 60-40, he can pull out a squeaker of a win.

Definitely over.  Turner wins as there are nearly as many Brooklyn precincts out as there are in Queens.  And Queens is basically 50-50.  Turner should have a victory margin of ~6000 votes.

Anyone have any results from the upstate NY AD races, districts 116 and 144?

Has anyone seen the results for the last 40 precincts?

I can't believe it takes over 24 hours to check all the voting machines in New York City!  It must be that the AP page just gives up and ceases to update.
