Candidates in New York City's heavily contested Democratic mayoral primary urged people to go to the polls in the coming days as early voting kicked off today.
“Why on earth would you wait until the last day?” candidate Andrew Yang asked at the event. “You can vote right now. You can vote tomorrow. You can vote Monday. You can vote Tuesday. I don’t know about you all, but I would feel great having gotten it out of the way.” This primary is especially hard to predict because the city is debuting ranked choice voting, with voters ranking up to five candidates.“It was a challenge to rank all five,” Garcia said, according to the New York Post. “It was very easy for number one.”
