Voters from Brooklyn to Buffalo and from Queens to Kingston came out to the polls in short supply Tuesday to decide who’ll run in this November’s general election — a contest that will ultimately determine who is New York State’s governor.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the primary election — which featured Democratic and Republican contests for governor, lieutenant governor, and 150 state Assembly seats — was on track for an extremely low voter turnout, a fact that came as little surprise given that the primary was held at the start of summer vacation for many families.
At the Public School 81 polling site in Brooklyn’s Bedford Stuyvesant, only about a dozen voters cast ballots over about an hour’s span Tuesday afternoon.
