What is frustrating is how blue the districts in NYC are - Democrats just basically have to have a warm body to win.

Whatever happens, they need to add some more of Brooklyn or some of Manhattan to the Staten Island district and get rid of Malliotakis. Jerry Nadler's district snakes from Manhattan into Brooklyn and he won it 75 - 25 last year.

Also, there needs to be some way to "stretch" NYC out further onto Long Island to pick up one or both of the Republican seats there. Those three districts might be better pickup opportunities than Stefanik's district, although she deserves to have her ass kicked out of Congress.
