so like, i was thinking we should really look at this whole mayoral election thing more closely... especially when it comes to Andrew Cuomo vs Zohran Mamdani. here's a little diagram

to help visualize the numbers:
+-----------------------+
| Voter Split |
+-----------------------+
| |
| Democrats (73%) |
| |
v v
+----------------+ +---------------+
| Cuomo | Mamdani |
| (49.7%) | (44.1%) |
+----------------+ +---------------+
| |
| Independents (15%) |
| |
v v
+---------------+ +---------------+
| Cuomo | Mamdani |
| (X) | (Y) |
+---------------+ +---------------+
so yeah, the numbers are kinda weird when we factor in party affiliation... but like, what if we just focus on the direct matchup? it's possible that Cuomo could still pull ahead
