Please allow me to post the names of Democrats that were ELECTED from NY 23 since the 1800's:
Orville Robinson Democratic March 4, 1843 March 3, 1845
William J. Hough Democratic March 4, 1845 March 3, 1847
Leander Babcock Democratic March 4, 1851 March 3, 1853
Scott Lord Democratic March 4, 1875 March 3, 1877
John T. Spriggs Democratic March 4, 1883 March 3, 1887
Henry W. Bentley Democratic March 4, 1891 March 3, 1893
Joseph A. Goulden Democratic March 4, 1913 May 3, 1915
Daniel C. Oliver Democratic March 4, 1917 March 4, 1919
Richard F. McKiniry Democratic March 4, 1919 March 4, 1921
Frank A. Oliver Democratic March 4, 1923 June 18, 1934
Charles A. Buckley Democratic January 3, 1935 January 3, 1945
Now, the next Democrat to represent NY23 WAS redistricted in. This happened when what was NY23 became NY25, and NY 22 became NY 23.
That would be Walter Lynch - January 3, 1945 January 3, 1951
The list goes on, but you can look for yourself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_23rd_congressional_district
if you look under the 'notes' colum, it cites things such as resigned, died, and redistricted in or out.
And you can click on each name for a link to their page, which will tell you if they were elected to NY23.
Now, i am going to use the example of Sidney Asher Fine. He served in House from 1951 - 1956. The first two years of his time in Congress were in the 23 district.. And if you use the 'biosearch' link it CLEARLY states that he was ELECTED to the 82, 83 and 84th Congresses. And since during the 82 Congress, he represented NY 23 (which was his FIRST term, following his ELECTION), he was ELECTED to represent NY 23.
Perhaps before you make a claim, you should do a little research to see if that claim is indeed accurate. This claim was definately not accurate.
