What is this article about?
The elections for New York's state legislature recently concluded after a heated campaign, resulting in a near-equal split among three parties: Clinton-supporting Republicans, anti-Clinton Republicans, and Federalists, with about 40 members each in the Assembly. This balance prevents any single faction from passing measures without alliances.

Event Details
Elections for senators and representatives in the New York Legislature terminated after a warm campaign involving three parties: Clinton-friendly Republicans, anti-Clinton Republicans, and Federalists. The Republican party, when united, holds a two-to-one majority over Federalists but is divided. Previous session's balance prevented electing a U.S. Senator to replace Mr. King; similar deadlock likely to continue.
