Same as in New York State. NY City controls the state; and as you mention, is democrat.
Curious - In my admittedly small group of friends (or acquaintances), no one seems to have voted for our governor, or even out present president. Popular vote has no meaning any more (if it ever did), political machine determines ruling class. I suppose it is no surprise that they fear armed citizenry...
