Slow start in primary election, despite some ‘vigorous’ races in Brooklyn
Voter turnout was running light in Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Heights in today’s primary election, the third primary of the year in New York City.
State Sen. Velmanette Montgomery, picking up poll watcher information at the Downtown Brooklyn headquarters of the Board of Elections (BOE), told the Brooklyn Eagle that the light turnout was a “little worrisome.”
“There are vigorous races in two Assembly districts — District 56, with Tremaine Wright [and Karen Cherry], and District 55, with Latrice Walker [and Darlene Mealy], which is going to be an active race.
