To further present the case supporting the epic failure of the republican party, one reader pointed out that Mr. Kakish received endorsements from the Republican, Conservative and Independent parties, but only received  1,703  or 39.697% of the total 4,290 votes.

The following is the statisics of registered voters in Hyde Park.
The total number of voters in Hyde Park that represent the party affiliations that endorsed Mr. Kakish is 4848 compared to the 3797. Ms. Rohr received 2562 or 59.72% of the vote and based upon this number it can be concluded that either republican/conservative voters did not come to the polls or they crossed party lines.
The republican party really dropped the ball on this election. The party, based upon the numbers were in a more favorable position to win the election. Yet, they lost. It should also be noted that Hyde Park made monumental history with this election as well, as it's the only town board in Dutchess County that has a democratic controlled board. You can thank Jim Langan and the Republican Committee for that one.
