Delighted to provide my New York precinct-level 2024 presidential election results data to the New York Times' national precinct map (just as I did in 2020)! Take a look:
New on @nytimes: “An Extremely Detailed Map of the 2024 Election” nytimes.com/interactive/20…
#4 here sure to break some folks' preconceptions of the race!
3) Ramos's Cuomo endorsement didn't help much, Mamdani received 13% of the transfers to Cuomo's 16%. 29% of Ramos transfers where exhausted. 4) Lander(!) was the largest beneficiary when Adams was eliminated, getting 31% of the transfers.

2) DREAM worked, when Lander was eliminated in round 11, more votes were exhausted than transferred to Cuomo. Mamdani received 56% of Lander's transfers, 23% were exhausted, and 21% went to Cuomo.
🧵 The data you have all been waiting for! The NYC mayoral primary WITHOUT batch elimination (and some early analysis) 1) Zohran's first round (469,642) would have been enough to win against Cuomo's final round (443,229)
For folks awaiting NYC results: the NYC BOE stated in their ongoing Commissioner's Meeting that they have hand recounts to conduct (and are currently conducting) in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens -- so we may not get the Cast Vote Record today
Wasn’t this “Motley crew” his friends? And two of those aides who left — Ingrid Lewis-Martin and Winnie Greco — are involved in his reelection campaign.
At the same breakfast, @NYCMayor apologized for the “Motley crew” of ex-aides that had to be fired from the admin and contributed to the dysfunction in City Hall -- source said he used this phrase several times. Then he pointed to Randy Mastro as the symbol of the new era.
New: I teamed up with @elenalingshao and @nytgraphics to map more than 100 public TV and radio stations that are at risk of closing as a result of tonight's vote: nytimes.com/interactive/20… This is a time bomb that will go off in the fall, when the last federal grants run out.
That’s it. Congress has officially killed federal funding of PBS, NPR and local stations across the U.S. after decades of thwarted attempts.
BREAKING: $9 billion rescission package gets final passage in the House 216-213. This was close. Did not vote: Three members - 2 Rs, 1 D No votes: 2 Rs.
Mario Cuomo was Secretary of State of NY from 1975-1979. Before that he was busy working as *checks notes* DONALD TRUMP'S DAD'S LAWYER
Some ridiculous comments re: "your dad was governor, you didn't have to work." Mario Cuomo was elected gov in 1983. Andrew Cuomo graduated from Fordham in 1979. What Andrew's father passed on to him was not a silver spoon but an extraordinary and uncompromising work ethic.
After mismanaging the MTA for 10+ years as Governor, Andrew Cuomo would now like to mismanage it as Mayor.
.@andrewcuomo repeats that he would propose the city takes over the management of the MTA, which is run by the state. "The MTA is too big to be able to manage the transit authority, effectively, let the mayor, manage the New York City Transit Authority," he says.
Says the guy who is literally trying to reinvent himself as a good person.
As Zohran Mamdani attempts to reinvent himself for the general election in an attempt to play New Yorkers for fools, remember what he himself has said in the past. He is a fraud. "I know what someone wants to hear, right? I know what someone wants to hear to laugh. I know…
