minus-squareApostleO@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·8 months agoThe population of NYC is 8 million, and they had fewer than 1M votes for mayor? That, like, 12.5%. Even if you limit it to just citizen population, I found that number to be 6-7 million. Thats still only a 14-16% voter turnout. The fuck?
