Despite his comfortable victory in the general, Cuomo will fall short of
the massive vote percentages of some previous Democrats, including senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, who each won with around 70 percent of the vote.
I suspect that things may look a little different if you look at just the
percentage fall for the main government party (and, actually, I'm about to check that) and the
massive swing will have been exaggerated by the Tories not bothering in a part of the world where they've been
voting tactically for over a century, but it's not entirely meaningless.
