Yeah that’s fair, I think the main thing you can hope for is that a lot of Cuomo’s support comes just from people who pick him just because they recognize him, which means they’re probably not high propensity voters. Meanwhile a lot of Mamdani’s support is grassroots which means hopefully a lot of his supporters are high propensity voters.
I hope those that voted already left Cuomo off their ballot, but there’s always going to be voters who will rank him and Mamdani, though both propose very different visions for the city. About double the number of people from 2021 are voting early this time, so I think we may be in for a pleasant surprise.
I really hope that’s true! Given all our history I’ve grown to have very little faith in the electorate lol
