How can anyone say a district that hasn't existed as it is now for very long voted a certain way since the civil war?

If you take Watertown - has it been Republican since the Civil war? Well, here is a former Democratic mayor of the city, NY AG, and judge:

en.wikipedia.org

Denis O'Brien (March 13, 1837 – May 18, 1909) was an American lawyer and politician.
[edit] Life
He was admitted to the bar in 1861, and commenced practice in Watertown. He was elected Mayor of Watertown in 1872.
He was New York State Attorney General from 1884 to 1887, elected on the Democrat ticket in 1883 and 1885.
In 1889, he was elected a judge of the New York Court of Appeals, was re-elected in 1903, and remained on the bench until the end of 1907 when he reached the constitutional age limit of 70 years.

......

Seems Watertown, supposedly the heart of the current 23rd has Democrats in its history.
