Interesting. The breakdown of where the absentee votes are coming from and who they're going with.

Showing up late has never been more fashionable.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams held a tenuous lead...And Garcia bested third-place finisher Maya Wiley by only 347 votes — meaning the fate of the Democratic primary for New York City mayor may rest on 125,000 absentee ballots yet to be counted.

Meanwhile, in an equally competitive city comptroller race, current second-place finisher Corey Johnson could also get a significant boost from the late arrivals.

Some 31% of the absentee ballots returned across the city hailed from Manhattan — including many from areas where Garcia was ranked as the in-person voters’ first choice and Wiley second, according to THE CITY’s analysis of BOE records and voter turnout.

Another 28% of absentee votes come from Queens and 26% from Brooklyn — areas where first-place votes were divvied up among several candidates, according to an analysis of in-person voters performed by the Center for Urban Research at the City University of New York Graduate Center.

It's official. White liberals are a voting block in NYC. I also predicted for those who voted for García for first choice will vote Maya wiley for 2nd. Eric Adams might loose this one.
