turn out wasn't too high but maybe in this case that's not a bad thing. Our county tends to go PUKE. I was afraid they might come out in high numbers because Astorino vowed he would repeal Safe Act, which is the gun control legislation Governor Cuomo lobbied for and won.
I voted because I feel it's my duty and because though Governor Cuomo had a commanding lead in the polls, I didn't want to just take it for granted that he'd win. I don't think all that highly of Cuomo, and hope he never becomes our Presidential nominee but he sure as hell is better than Astorino and I wanted to keep our county sheriff's office under a Democrat's control as well.

(102 posts)there were only 3 other voters in the hall. Voted everything on the Working Family line. Really had to hold my nose when voting Corpratoumo and his republican sidekick, Hochum, on the Working Families line also.
