A Democrat held the seat as early as 1993. Look at the list of Reps and their political affiliation.
But saying it hasn't been held by "someone other than a Republican" since the civil war helps fulfill your fantasy I suppose

If you read into it a little more you'll discover that key term "redistricted". In 1988-92 the 23 district was in the middle of the state near Albany. That area of New York then became the 21 district, and this area of upstate New York became the 23 district. This area of upstate New York also has been called the 20th, 22,and 24 district depending on state population trends at the time and how many districts the state was allowed by the Federal Government and the census.
I know you aren't one who is big on nuance, but what I said is accurate, at least as it respects a majority (two-thirds) of the district.
Apparently, the word "redistricted" in your wiki source, matters.
I wondered where the smell of desperationw as coming from and it's the Republicans who have noticed their fear mongering is having an effect and have suddenly realised their beloved party has no viable leader.
Thanks for perfectly illustrating the mess that the nutjob extremists have made of the GOP.
