Closing Bell: Vote, Again

vote_280909.jpg
The first Democratic primary on September 15 attracted a record-low number of voters—11 percent of registered Democrats—so we won’t hold our breath for a high turnout for tomorrow’s run-off primary for comptroller and public advocate. The comptroller candidates are Queens Councilman John Liu, first place in primary round one, and Brooklyn Councilman David Yassky; for public advocate, you Dems out there can choose between Brooklyn Councilman Bill de Blasio and former advocate Mark Green. You can check the Board of Elections website for polling locations, which will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
