New York City mayor primary: Where the polls are, when they open and close
The marquee race on the ranked choice ballot is for the Democratic nomination for mayor between former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a slate, led primarily by New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.
The race could provide a bellwether for the larger Democratic party as the coalition seeking to repel Cuomo has framed the choice facing New Yorkers as one between an older, moderate political establishment and a youthful, progressive vision for the party that lost the White House in November.
Early voting, which closed June 22, showed a more than double the number of check ins than the 2021 race that handed the Democratic nomination for one of the most visible mayorships in the nation to Eric Adams – who will run in the general election as an independent.
The New York City Board of Elections reported that its unofficial count of early votes in 2025 is 384,338, while AMNY reported that the board said 191,197 people voted early in 2021.
Here's where New Yorkers can vote on Election Day for the primary and how long the polls will remain open on June 24.

Texas files motion against O'Rourke in fight over redistricting maps
Texas on Tuesday filed a contempt motion against Beto O'Rourke, alleging he is violating a court order by continuing to fundraise for state legislators who fled the Lone Star State earlier this month. File Photo by Kevin Dietsch/UPI | License Photo Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Texas filed a motion for contempt Tuesday against Beto O'Rourke, accusing him of violating a temporary restraining order barring him from fundraising for Democratic lawmakers who fled the state earlier this month amid a deepening fight with Republicans over redistricting maps. In the motion, filed in the District Court for Tarrant County, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton alleges that O'Rourke -- a former U.S. House legislator and potential Democratic presidential candidate -- violated a court order that was handed down Friday by continuing to solicit donations for Texas Democrats through the Democratic Party's ActBlue fundraising arm, specifically at rallies in Fort Worth and Abilene that were held over the weekend and online. "Beto is about to find out that running your mouth and ignoring the rule of law has consequences in Texas," Paxton said on X. "It's time to lock him up." Democrats have come out in force since their Texas colleagues fled the state earlier this month to deny Republicans a quorum to pass redistricting maps that would give the GOP five additional seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Critics and Democrats argue that the maps draw lines that dilute the voting power of Latino and Black people, while serving as a power grab by President Donald Trump through rigging the GOP representation in the House ahead of next year's midterm elections. Usually, redistricting occurs once a decade with the publishing of U.S. Census Bureau data. O'Rourke has been at the forefront of the effort to support Texas Democrats and a target of Paxton, who, on Friday, secured a temporary restraining order barring his fellow Texan from soliciting donations for nonpolitical purposes, including to fund "out-of-state travel, hotel or dining accommodations or services to unexcused Texas legislators during any special legislative session called by the Texas governor." The motion filed Tuesday centers mainly on social media posts by O'Rourke that encourage people to donate "to have the backs of our Texas Democrats in this fight," and the two rallies held over the weekend, specifically the Saturday event in Fort Worth, where Paxton in the motion quotes the Democrat as having said, "There are no refs in this game. [expletive] the rules," seemingly to suggest he was openly flouting the court order. O'Rourke responded to the lawsuit by accusing Paxton of purposefully misusing his words in a social media post, that included a clip from the rally the attorney general quoted him from. The clip shows O'Rourke speaking about encouraging all Democratic-led states to redraw their maps as Texas has to "maximize Democratic Party advantage" because "there are no refs in this game." In the Tuesday response, O'Rourke said Paxton was "lying to try to silence us." "We alerted the court that the AG's office blatantly lied in its filing," he said in a post on X. "We're seeking maximum sanctions in response to his abuse of office." If the court finds O'Rourke in violation of the temporary restraining order, it could fine him up to $500 and jail him for up to six months. The next hearing in the case has been scheduled for Aug. 19. The filing comes the same day the Texas Senate approved the controversial redistricting map 19-2 along party lines, with nine of the 11 Democrats walking out before the vote in protest.

California governor demands Trump abandon Texas redistricting push, threatens ballot measure response
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is demanding that President Donald Trump abandon a GOP-led redistricting push in Texas following a Democratic walkout that blocked the vote in the Lone Star State over a Republican effort to redraw congressional maps. The Democratic governor warned the partisan battle risks spiraling into a national redistricting "arms race" and urged Trump to "stand down." After days of aggressive back and forth between the two leaders, Newsom tweeted from the official page of the Governor Newsom Press Office, mocking Trump in what was ostensibly meant to mimic the president's idiosyncratic style of using all-caps and superlatives for many of his posts. "DONALD 'TACO' TRUMP, AS MANY CALL HIM, 'MISSED' THE DEADLINE!!! CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE 'BEAUTIFUL MAPS,' THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!). BIG PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH POWERFUL DEMS AND GAVIN NEWSOM — YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR — THAT WILL BE DEVASTATING FOR 'MAGA.' THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GN," the tweet read. Newsom's hyperbolic, Trump-mimicking tone suggested that California will be retaliating in the ongoing redistricting battle unless red states like Texas abort their partisan map plans. The governor seemed to double down on comments on X from Monday in which he posted a video along with the caption: "Donald Trump: It's time to call Greg Abbott and tell him to stand down. You are not 'entitled' to 5 congressional seats. If you do not call your lapdogs off, CA will act quickly and swiftly. We will go to the ballot. We will neutralize whatever gains you make. We will not stand by while you light Democracy on fire." The post coincided with a letter to Trump from Monday accusing the president of "playing with fire." The governor said he is prepared to do whatever it takes to combat any gains that the republicans may achieve through efforts in Texas. "You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make," Newsom told Trump in the letter. "This attempt to rig congressional maps to hold onto power before a single vote is cast in the 2026 election is an affront to American democracy," Newsom said. Newsom said he was in favor of leaving the decision to independent commissions, and that he would "happily" stand down if other states followed suit in the redistricting effort. In another snarky, all-caps tweet meant to mimic Trump's social media style, Newsom's office summarized the letter: "DONALD TRUMP, IF YOU DO NOT STAND DOWN, WE WILL BE FORCED TO LEAD AN EFFORT TO REDRAW THE MAPS IN CA TO OFFSET THE RIGGING OF MAPS IN RED STATES. BUT IF THE OTHER STATES CALL OFF THEIR REDISTRICTING EFFORTS, WE WILL DO THE SAME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!" Newsom's threat could mark a dramatic reversal of California's voter-approved independent redistricting process and potentially require legislative action or even a statewide ballot measure. While this is only intended as a political counterpunch, the move has sparked debate among Democrats' and Republicans' about whether the party risks sacrificing its moral high ground on fair maps.

Former NY governor endorsing Eric Adams for NYC mayor
Former New York Gov. David Paterson (D) said Tuesday he is set to endorse New York City Mayor Eric Adams in his reelection bid amid a heated race for Big Apple mayor. 'It'll be at one o'clock on the steps of City Hall, at which time I will endorse Mayor Eric Adams for reelection,' Paterson said on the 'Cats & Cosby' radio show, discussing Wednesday. 'And as you knew, I wanted to endorse Eric Adams back in the beginning of 2024 when that camp— mayoral campaign for 2025 started to really pick up,' Paterson continued. 'But then, after his indictments and the other issues that happened in those next few months, I endorsed the former governor, Andrew Cuomo, because next to Adams, he would have been my second choice.' While Cuomo was seen as the most likely victor in New York City's Democratic primary for mayor, New York Assembly member Zohran Mamdani came out on top in the June race to be the Democratic mayoral nominee in a shock upset. Mamdani's victory drastically changed the dynamics of the New York City mayoral race, with both Adams and Cuomo now running as independents. In early July, Paterson likened Mamdani's success as the city's Democratic mayoral candidate to President Trump's political rise a decade before. 'The support that Mamdani is receiving … the number of people he's registering, the number of people who go to his rallies … if I blinked my eyes 10 years ago, there was another person who was able to do that, and his name is Donald Trump, whose political ideology is the polar opposite of what Mamdani's might be,' Paterson said during the 'Cats Roundtable' radio show at the time. A Siena College poll released Tuesday shows Mamdani leads in the mayoral race by almost 20 points in a five-person field as opposition to the state lawmaker's bid continues to be split among multiple candidates. The poll shows Mamdani leading by 19 points over his next-closest opponent, Cuomo, 44 percent to 25 percent. Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa was considerably behind them with 12 percent, followed by incumbent Adams with 7 percent. Cuomo has called for the candidates to coalesce behind whichever of them appears to be the strongest in a head-to-head match-up with Mamdani based on polling next month, which surveys suggest would likely be the former governor. But Adams and Sliwa have been consistent that they will not drop out of the race.
