Representatives The 11th is a Brooklyn-based district. In the 1992 redistricting much of the old 11th became the new 10th District and the new 11th absorbed much of the old 12th District. Election results Note that in New York State electoral politics there are numerous minor parties at various points on the political spectrum. Certain parties will invariably endorse either the Republican or Democratic candidate for every office, hence the state electoral results contain both the party votes, and the final candidate votes (Listed as "Recap"). | ||||||||
