ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York Senate Democrats are quietly pinning their hopes on an underdog campaign in a new legislative district drawn by Republicans specifically to protect their Senate majority.
?? ?
For Democrat Cecilia Tkaczyk, the task is daunting against George Amedore, a veteran assemblyman. He had been considered a sure thing under the Republicans' redistricting plan. The Senate's 46th district carefully snakes from Montgomery County to Ulster County.
?? ?
Yet, the race has drawn little attention since Amedore announced his bid in the spring and Democrats see support in Ulster County, which accounts for about a third of the district's voters. The battleground also has more Democratic voters and the party says they may pull off an Election Day upset.
?? ?
Republicans are confident they'll prevail in November.
