Being from a state that does not require one to register according to party, I found it interesting to read the
following: a "3 -1 Registration Edge" for the Democrats in that Congressional District

"NEW YORK (AP) -- It sounded improbable on the surface that a New York City congressional district where Democrats have a 3-1 registration edge and have held office for nearly a century could even come close to electing a Republican to the U.S. House-------more".

Registering according to party in a state, any state, provides the opportunity for party bosses to control the people. I.e. You did not register Democrat, sorry no job for you. Switch your Party Registration and we will give you a job.

Looks like Brooklyn made the difference ---
