several thouts here:
Was not antagonizing the governments one of the shevuos? I hope voting against someone is not break the shevua in a free country. But maybe NY politics is vindictive enough so that the governor will act against those who did not vote for her?
Just voting itself should be sufficient to raise power of the community
After election, maybe we should take the shevua seriously and try to accommodate demands where they are reasonable. If you don’t take the shevua seriously, then you have no excuse not to move to EY.
