Veterans Day, 2018, was a Sunday, and I presume many organizations, civil and religious, had commemorations at the same 11 a.m. hour, the centenary of the Armistice of 1918. At the Seaford American Legion Post, Judge Terence Murphy, former post commander, was master of ceremonies. In attendance were veterans, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and members of the Seaford Fire Department. An honor guard fired three volleys, and taps were played. Mr. Murphy then announced, "It is now 11 a.m. The war is over."
The election results in Seaford in 2018 generally followed the pattern of 2016, when Mr. Trump received about 65% of the vote in each of the election districts. This year, there was a serious contest for the New York State Senate, in particular the seat of incumbent Seaford resident John Brooks. During October, many lawns in Seaford carried placards for Pete King (who won) and Jeff Pravato (who lost to John Brooks). Newsday briefly uploads to its website a detailed count of each election district in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, a useful tool which unfortunately disappears from the web within a few days. Therefore, I will try to give some Seaford numbers on this blog. In that race for the 8th New York Senatorial District, Brooks received 38% in his own neighborhood around Maple Street, and Pravato 62%. Prevato's strongest districts were near the Massapequa Village Hall and south of Merrick Road in Massapequa. He won all of Seaford's election districts. The citizens of Copiague, Amityville, Freeport, and much of Merrick, mainly away from the waterfront, chose John Brooks, who won the seat with 54% of the district. --- Governor Cuomo received 59% of the votes in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. His lowest count nearby was 109 votes in Biltmore Shores, Massapequa, against 401 votes for Marc Molinaro. Cuomo won no election district in Seaford. --- Kirsten Gillibrand received 67% of the Nassau-Suffolk votes, but lost Seaford with 37%.
