An openly Democratic Socialist Candidate in the United States of America is now within striking distance of winning mayorship of the city that is the beating heart of American capitalism. In only 8 1/2 months of campaigning we have gone from 1% in the polls to now being the electoral favorite.
This is perhaps a long shot, but if you are reading this, we are still looking for people to work the phones for Zohran today and tomorrow! No requirement to live in NYC, just to have a US phone number. We have 9 different phonebanking times today and offer 27 second language options! We need all of the help we can get to win this, and every little bit helps. Please consider signing up for a shift here even if you can only make a few calls.
As somebody working for the campaign, I’m not really supposed to say this, but if you don’t feel comfortable using personally identifiable information, you can use a fake name, burner email, and Google voice number. I don’t really care. We need people working the phones. Zohran is not even above 90% name recognition yet among potential voters, and 4% of voters are still undecided. If even one of you signs up, please let me know so I can recognize you for your efforts to the community here.
They're voting once, but placing as many rankings as they want.
So if someone submitted a ballot with:
#1 Lander
#2 Mamdani
It wouldn't affect anything for the first 6 rounds of the hypothetical election result in the OPs post. But on the seventh round, Lander would be eliminated, as he would have fewest votes. And then this person's vote would be transferred to Mamdani.
We can see from hypothetical election result that about 37% of people who ranked Lander are also Ranking Cuomo after him, and about 60% are ranking Mamdani after Lander, and about 3% are ranking neither of those alternatives. There's a bit of ambiguity from the way these results are displayed, as you don't have to rank people, and I would expect a lot of people just rank one candidate as #1 and leave the ballet blank.
