For the record, the 2021 mayoral primary had 942k votes (and people weren't super excited about it, either). I expect we'll surpass that tonight?

For tonight's primary, we're currently at 412k votes counted.

#Mamdani is absolutely winning via Brooklyn. That is wild.

So here's where we get to test cross endorsements. Any candidate that gets > 50% is the clear winner. Without that, you start dropping candidates from the race & look at second choice rankings.

With 80% of results in, Mamdani is at 43%. To cross the 50% threshold, he would need another 55k votes. Lander has 105k votes. If Lander gets dropped but at least half of the people in that list ranked Lander #1 & Mamdani #2, Mamdani would win. Remember, they cross-endorsed & campaigned together.

@Andres4NY Does anyone have vote total prediction numbers? But yeah, seems like Lander voters will likely break Mamdani.

Also: do you have any idea why the bronx is being so silly for Cuomo? WTF?

@qkslvrwolf @Andres4NY

Turn out here is low. Mostly old people who always vote. And half of the the Bronx is kind of suburban.

@qkslvrwolf @Andres4NY

I always vote, and Cuomo sent me 8 ugly glossy fliers. Called me twice and had three people on the corner littering all over the place with more paper nobody wanted.

And he had a bunch of miserable people doing fliers who clearly didn't care and were being paid $8 an hour to stand in 100 degree heat.

None of the fliers said anything that I cared about at all. Not one.

@qkslvrwolf @Andres4NY

There were also three obvious Cuomo push polls which I told wild lies on.

@futurebird @Andres4NY

lmao

@qkslvrwolf @Andres4NY

I talked their ear off about how much it annoys me that everyone calls it the "East River" rather than the "East Side Tidal Estuary" ... OK that bit wasn't a lie but normally I don't bring it up.

(IT'S NOT A RIVER DAMMIT)
