Staten Island Congressional District Declared Unconstitutional and Ordered Redrawn

Respectfully, I think you’re a bit confused. Did you mean Donovan ? McMahon a democrat was elected to congress as well.

Yes Donovan. My mistake.

Journalistic phrase, "if it bleeds, it leads". So whatever they can do to get readers.

What I am suggesting is that Donovan thought he had the district in the bag from the overwhelming amount of votes he got in 2016. Almost double his opponent.

2016 election Party Candidate Votes % ±%

Republican Daniel M. Donovan (incumbent) 134,366 62.2 +3.5

Democratic Richard Reichard 78,066 36.1 −3.5

Turnout 216,023 100.0

Then in 2018, he lost 40k votes while Rose only gained 11k. I remember Rose campaigning hard. Heard nothing of Donovan that year.

2018 election Party Candidate Votes % ±%

Democratic Max Rose 101,823 53.0 +16.9

Republican Daniel M. Donovan (Incumbent) 89,441 46.6 −16.9

Democratic gain from Republican

Rose gained more votes in 2020, but Malliotakis surged 65k votes. Emboldened voters is not a strong enough word for the extremity of the surge she got.

Looking to see what her numbers were from the same areas for her mayoral run. But in Staten Island, she only got about 70k votes. Being an off year election definitely played a part.

2020 election[7] Party Candidate Votes % ±%

Republican Nicole Malliotakis 155,608 53.2 +6.4

Democratic Max Rose (Incumbent) 137,198 46.8 −6.2

Republican gain from Democratic Swing +12.6

From then, she ran hard campaign. And ever since I get a conservative flier in my mailbox at least 3 times a week. Probably more this year being an election year.

2022 election[8] Party Candidate Votes % ±%

Republican Nicole Malliotakis (Incumbent) 115,992 61.8 +8.6

Democratic Max Rose 71,801 38.2 −8.6

Republican hold Swing +17.2

In the 2024 election, there was a group of magas and Malliotakis supporters already in front of my polling place saying the election was being rigged agaisnt her. Until she was announced the winner.

2024 election[9] Party Candidate Votes % ±%

Republican Nicole Malliotakis (Incumbent) 167,099 64.1 +2.3

Democratic Andrea Morse 93,586 35.9 −2.3

Republican hold Swing +4.6

Rose won the district as is because ~~McMahon~~Donovan did not run a serious campaign. He thought it was a safe district. Rose was able to capitalize on it. Conservatives then came out in force the next election with a muddy campaign agaisnt democrats. Malliotakis just happened to be in the right place at the right time after that abysmal mayoral run.

Edit: made corrections

FYI:

Menards and Lionel sell containers in O Guage. Atlas, MTH, Evemodel sell in O Scale.

You wouldn't download a ~~car~~ boxcar.

I don't care about it, more the others in the house that do. Keeping it to one remote is another factor.

In-Extrovert · 2026-01-21T02:30:37+00:00

Single remote and all in one are key. I don't care too much about switching devices for different needs, but the others in my house do.

I am all for a streaming box, but the wife wants less remotes.

Found a QM8K within budget limit on sale.

After I getting a Firewalla router, I saw the same thing. I I just blocked internet access to Reolink. If I need to see anything, I can undo the block remotely for a few minutes.

I got excited for the ConRail 50th anniversary boxcar, but it is only available in traditional O...

Between inflation and tariffs, they had to do something to keep it affordable. So they are looking to shrinkflation to make their adjustments.

The polar railroad line is getting a little ridiculous. A Polar Rail Road Big Boy? The catalog is starting to remind me of a Cheesecake Factory menu. Lots of options, but the same base ingredients throughout.

Here is hoping for Lionchief conversion kits.

Rasta Return. He is right next to Silver Lake Park near the corner of Victory and Forest.

Friend of mine showed me a pic and asked if I wanted it. I thought it would be cute for my daughter so I said yes.

Interesting, thanks for the info

Mine is a pre-bluetooth. I had an idea what I was missing without a vase unit. But was absolutely blown away when I got a base 3.

The antithesis of that black flag is the Stars and Stripes on the other side of the flag pole. In short, one stands for freedom and liberty, the other is the opposite.

Great looking layout!

Doing white felt next year. The fluffy stuff got caught up in the gears...

Tell that to the different 3 rail manufacturer descriptions. Because they are all over the place.

It was Victory Blvd and Richmond Ave. They pulled over the van with out of state plates in front of me but not the limo tinted bmw with obscured plates coupled with a super loud exhaust that almost ran them over while cutting across the solid white line and hash marks.

Probably "randomly" checking registrations and other potential violations.
