New York Primary Election Results

the albany project has results for a whole lot of races. interestingly, alice kryzan is leading jon powers slightly in ny-26 in a race that has turned very obnoxious, while sheldon silver is destroying paul newell in manhattan.

I can’t find results for the Kevin Powell/Ed Towns primary race, the New York Secretary of State website isn’t updating. We should know more soon. I expect Towns to take it but I don’t have a high degree of certainty.

Zardari vows to fight militants

Update: And Towns took it by a 67-33 margin (h/t commenter Progressive America). We wanted to endorse in this one as there aren’t that many good primary candidates, but due diligence kept us back.

Meanwhile, Alice Kryzan has expanded her lead a bit over Jon Powers. With 335 of 369 Precincts Reporting (91%), she has 42% of the vote, Powers has 36% of the vote, and Davis has 23% of the vote. Unless Powers takes two thirds of the remaining vote and Kryzan takes none of it, Kryzan is going to take this.

Kryzan endorsed the Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq, so I have a soft spot for her. At the same time, this really was about Jon Powers and Jack Davis really going after each other with a viciousness in a primary I’ve rarely seen and leaving room for Kryzan to sneak through. Powers was a Red to Blue candidate and an Orange to Blue candidate, so he had establishment backing and netroots backing.

My guess, not having seen the data but knowing a bit about Kryzan’s career as a glass ceiling shattering attorney and the contours of the race, is that the women went for Kryzan.

Update (Chris): Detailed results for NY-26 can be found at Rochester Turning. With 268 of 272 precincts reporting, Kryzan leads 44.0% to 33.4% for Powers and 22.6% for Davis. It’s over. The result makes me happy. Also, keep an eye on Kryzan for the general election. Surprise primary winners had a good run in 2006. Zach Space, Carol Shea Porter and Jerry McNerney all won. Larry Kissell lost by only the narrowest of margins.
