Very interesting. Socialism in America. Who'd have thought?! There's still a long way to go, of course. Odd too, that it was a right-wing, Republican administration that kick-started the rehabilitation of interventionist economic policies - albeit, probably not the right ones and definitely for the wrong reasons.

Found on internet:

"It's pretty hilarious to watch all the people who lectured us on democracy and droned on about how we should "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO" have suddenly decided that ACTUALLY the best course of action is to refuse to accept the outcome of the election (Cuomo) or to sabotage the party's nominee so the guy who left the party a couple years ago can win again."

Expect Cuomo to run in the general as an independent, solely for the purpose of taking votes from Mamdani. That, and an all-out propaganda blitz.

Hi dear bro. Thanks for the great analysis. Just to confirm that the assumption is equal voting rates across demographics?

Thanks for this analysis! Did you look at the correlation between any of the following?

1) Car ownership

2) Number of cars owned per household

3) Use of public transportation (for work or otherwise)

4) Use of bike (for work or otherwise)

No. In any case, we're looking at the cross-section of congressional districts. And all of these factors, even if the data were available, are confounded by the geography of New York City. Eg, car ownership is higher in the poorer outer boroughs.

Thanks for your response! I believe precinct-level car-ownership data is available and still think that the data may provide interesting insights.
