Republicans win 4 NYC council seats. This is going to be filed under “Holy shit Batman!” We can’t wait to see the results.
Republicans won four contested City Council races in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island and had a shot at taking a fifth in a potential upset.
Republican Inna Vernikov thumped her Democratic opponent Steve Saperstein for an open seat In southern Brooklyn’s 48th Council District by nearly 30 points.
With 87 percent of the vote in, Vernikov, a 37-year-old lawyer and Ukraine native, garnered 10,768 votes, or 65 percent of the vote, to 5,870 votes, or 35 percent, for Saperstein.
She will succeed ex-Councilman Chaim Deutsch, who forfeited his seat earlier this year when he was convicted of tax fraud.

It would seem all the rich democrats left the city to avoid the high taxes and crime their policies caused, leaving the INTELLIGENT people behind to vote.
They still elected a Dem mayor. I hope these new R council members fuck with him.
