NYC Mayor: What happens now?

[brooklynite]

"But the others wait in Casablanca --- and wait --- and wait --- and wait....."

Next week there will be a preliminary run-through of RCV reallocations for IN-PERSON voting only.

Preliminary MAIL-IN votes will be reported by July 6.

We MIGHT have a final tally by July 12.

1. That's to the disadvantage of the eventual democratic nominee.

More than 3-1/2 weeks before a final vote tally gives republican nominee Curtis Sliwa the opportunity to attack any or all of the candidates without much expected pushback. The Democrats will be making statement against each other, not their opponent for the general election.

2. I don't think anything Sliwa says now

will have any effect in October, when NY voters start paying attention.

3. That might be debatable.

NYC media will be pushing Sliwa.

New York Post
WABC talk radio, where Sliwa used to be a host, is practically chortling with glee this morning.

4. The NY Post and WABC don't constitute "NYC media"

They constitute the base that Sliwa already has. Democrats have a 7-1 margin over Republicans.

5. Most voters in NY

know the Post is a Murdoch rag. And WABC's audience is mostly outside the city (except Staten Island)
