Specifically, I live in a suburb of Buffalo.

Buffalo can be a political battleground. Where I live local elections are extremely close and that's why it's imperative to vote in every election.

I looked up to see what the majority of registered voters were for Staten Island, the numbers have went up in recent years for registered R's and it seems like the Democratic voters don't vote down the line. This article is dated for 2022.
