A seat which had been held by the Republicans in New York's 26th Congressional District was won by Democrat Kathy Hochul in Tuesday's special election. Hochul's opponent was Republican Jane Corwin who lost by the narrow margin of 47 percent to 43 percent. A 3rd candidate, Democrat-turned Tea Party candidate Jack Davis, garnered 9 percent of the votes. Here is the proof: Democrat gets seat from GOP, http://nestype.com.
