Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are expected to cast their ranked-choice votes in Tuesday’s primary, which polls suggest has effectively become a four-way race between Eric Adams, Maya Wiley, Kathryn Garcia, and Andrew Yang, though many other candidates remain in the running.
The city’s Board of Elections has received about 220,000 requests for absentee ballots, and in a closely fought race like this one, those votes could make a difference.

Data basks that up. Pretty simple...when crime drops, there are fewer victims, AND criminals.
