Due to the influx of mail-in voting this year, results from yesterday’s election are still pending. Absentee ballots will continue to be collected and counted by the Board of Elections and we won’t see the full count for a few weeks, so these are the unofficial results as of Wednesday June 24, 2020.
The NYS Board of Elections is currently reporting that Incumbent Senator Julia Salazar (D-District 18) holds a 68.2% lead over challenger Andy Marte. Since many voters opted to vote by way of absentee this year due to public health concerns over in-person voting and the spread of Coronavirus, these numbers only account for a portion of the total voting pool at this time. Still, there seems to be a wide enough margin in some of these races to predict who might come out on top.
And the NYC Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) provides a live map of the primary results broken down by Election District (ED) that clearly paints Salazar as the winner at this point.
