NYC’s 2023 primary election had less than 200K voters cast ballots — with only 5% of Democratic Bronx voters showing up: analysts

What if you held an election and less than 200,000 registered voters showed up? Based on preliminary ballot counts by the New York City Board of Elections, that’s what happened in Tuesday’s primary election

Because of state redistricting in 2022, NYC Council elections were held two years earlier than usual with no hotly contested citywide, state or federal races on the ballot to draw voters to the polls, political analysts said.

Of all five boroughs, Bronx voters, in particular, couldn’t be bothered.

Only about 5.3% of registered Democrats cast ballots in the primary race for Bronx District attorney between incumbent Darcel Clark and challenger Tess Cohen. Clark won handily.

There are 535,955 active registered Democratic voters in Bronx County, but only 28,472 voted, according to the unofficial machine count.

Pretty pathetic.  Then again, perhaps that's the gameplan of the hardcore leftists, who no doubt made up most of the primary voters.
