Uncommitted Delegates Lead in Central New York Primary
Ten uncommitted delegates from the 32nd and 33rd districts head to the Democratic National Convention in July. In a clear win, Hanley and Corbett led over Alexander and Danforth, with Richard A. Romeo noting turnout between 15,000 and 16,000 of about 56,000 eligible voters. Alexander could still win an at large seat, while Jackson may be named an at large delegate.
