N Y voters face crowding stakes in mayoral primary
In New York City the Democratic and Republican mayoral primaries drew intense spending and high voter interest. Eight men and a woman competed for the Democratic nomination with two Republicans seeking the GOP nod. Officials expect turnout around 40 percent of Democrats and a smaller share of Republicans. The race may trigger a Sept. 19 runoff if no Democrat clears 40 percent. Mario Cuomo remains on the Liberal line for November.
