Last Day of Early Voting: Boro Parkers Should Ensure to Rank Candidates who Support Us

Last Day of Early Voting: Boro Parkers Should Ensure to Rank Candidates who Support Us

By Yehudit Garmaise

      Today is the last day of Early Voting, and Boro Parkers should remember to cast their votes, as voter turnout rates in Primary Day elections in New York City do not crack 20% of the city’s population: a rate that gives each vote five times the weight of one, in an election in which everyone votes.

      No matter which candidate Boro Parkers rank first, they should remember to rank their preferences of as many candidates as possible, or a recent enthusiasm for far-left candidate Maya Wiley, who is now in second place in most polls, could take hold.

      While the majority of New Yorkers report that they are most worried about crime and the lack of public safety in the city, Wiley has long promoted defunding and disarming the police.

      In addition, Wiley, like most the candidates, with the exceptions of Andrew Yang and Eric Adams, never considered the values and the safety of heimish neighborhoods: or even visited them.

      Scott Stringer did visit Boro Park to eat pizza at Amnon’s and visit local businesses in April, but when asked about the issues that are most crucial to the neighborhood, such as what the community could expect from him on his attitudes toward yeshiva education and metzizah b’peh, Stringer remained vague and non-committal.

      Wiley revealed the Jewish community to which she is aligned yesterday, when she attended a “Juneteenth Havdalah service” at the Grand Army Plaza at 6pm, hours before Shabbos was over.

      Boro Parkers can enter their addresses into the city’s Board of Election’s website to find the polling sites nearest their homes. Today polls are open until 4pm, and on Primary Day, which is Tuesday, June 22, which is the last day on which absentee ballots can be hand-delivered or postmarked, polls will be open from 6am to 9pm.

      Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein, who just tweeted his top three mayoral picks: Yang, Adams, and Ray McGuire, wrote, “I just voted early! 13 candidates are running for mayor. I urge everyone to rank more than one candidate.

      “Please VOTE!”
