The GOP has a 16% voter registration advantage in NY-20. Even if Murphy were to lose, how would losing by less than 1% in a heavily Republican district constitute a “backlash against Democrats”? For that matter, how is a district with 180,000 Republicans and 115,000 Democrats a bellwether district?

How could the GOP barely eking out a win in a +16% GOP district possibly influence a race in a +18% Dem district?
