How Did Paladino Win Western New York So Convincingly

[Jordan Gwendolyn]

I mean, yes, he's from Buffalo, but Cuomo won big everywhere else in the state , the only blue parts of the Atlas map are a few scattered counties in the east and of course, the Buffalo area.

To be honest, I found it suspicious that Paladino won Erie county by 21 points. Usually, D candidates don't lose Erie County unless they are losing fairly big across upstate.
