PRIMARY ROUNDUP | Historic, projected upsets in Harlem and Brooklyn City Council races top an otherwise apathetic election cycle
The two races were the highlight of an election day, marked by low voter turnout and few surprises. By 6 p.m. Tuesday only 149,484 people had cast their ballots—either on the day or during early voting.
Salaam, as of 12:25 a.m. Wednesday, had more than 50% of the vote, and a 2,764-vote lead over Dickens, who’s running in second. In third place is Assembly Member Al Taylor with 1,590 votes. Susan Zhuang, the former chief of staff to Assemblymember William Colton, is likely to secure the Democratic nomination bringing in 58% of the votes, according to the Board of Elections, with 97.8% of the scanners reporting. Meanwhile, Ying Tang is on the verge of winning the Republican nomination for the seat.
In Brooklyn, the incumbent Democrat Darlene Mealy seems to have repelled a challenge from three Democrats, while in Manhattan, Christopher Marte , Carlina Rivera and Carmen De La Rosa cruised to easy wins. Meanwhile, Marjorie Velazquez also fended off several challengers.
