NY-26: Breaking Down The Results

So how did Alice Kryzan win? Erie, Monroe and Niagara counties are the answer.

Kryzan won all three counties. In Monroe County, Kryzan won by 135 votes over Jon Powers. In Niagara County, Kryzan won with 39.5 percent of the vote - a margin of victory of 277 votes. Erie County was the difference for Kryzan. Kryzan won with 48 percent of the vote, which amounted to 5,018 votes for Kryzan - a 1,640 vote difference. In all, Kryzan won in those three counties by a total of 2,052 votes.

I do not have all the results from every rural county. Here are the results from Orleans County - my home county. Powers won Orleans County with 38 percent of the vote. That was a 24 vote margin of victory. Powers also won Genesee County by 97 votes (621 to 524). I don't have the results from Livingston or Wyoming counties as of yet, but I would think that Powers won both counties as well.

This is the most up-to-date tally I have:

Kryzan - 9,258
Powers - 7,912
Davis - 5,044

So, did anybody see this coming? (0.00 / 0)

I mean, the only real news I got on this race came from TAP, but I'm surprised Kryzan wasn't mentioned more if she was actually doing this well.

I think that (4.00 / 1)

Powers had a lot of support/following in the netroots community, and several prominent TAPers were real fans. So, they were more interested in him.

I can't stand Davis, so I can't say I was neutral in this race, but, I was OK with either Powers or Kryzan, I think that each has good points. As far as "seeing it coming": I was impressed that the NY League of Conservation Voters endorsed her, and thought that was a very auspicious sign when I saw it a few weeks back. I also think that this is a wake-up call to those who don't think that better elected-official representation for women (by those who "look like them") is one of the issues that voters weigh when they make decisions. And, the results also confirm for me something that I have been thinking about a lot lately, esp. in regard to Eric Massa's race: military guys run strong among Democrats and blanks in rural red areas.... but, the military thing may not go over so well in more urban areas.
