Thanks to the reader who sent us this link. Democrats across New York State got their heads handed to them and Erie County was no exception.

College Professor Kevin Hardwick picked up a seat after his third try.  Check out this line from the Buffalo News Story on the campaign wrap up:

Hardwick noted that the last-minute controversy enveloping Iannello over her alleged objection to the use of black Working Families Party volunteers in her predominantly white district helped his cause.

“I think it enhanced our win, no question about it,” he said. “But our polls had us up significantly before that.”

Iannello wouldn’t say much about what factors she believes led to her defeat.

“You can surmise a lot of different things in this race,” she said. “But the bottom line is I didn’t get enough votes, and I think I’ll just leave it at that.”

She said she was elected to the Legislature on a “platform of reform” and believes she made a difference.

What!?  If we didn’t already have a category called Democrat Hypocrisy, this would have inspired one!
