Election Night Live Blog

I didn't get to do this four years ago because life events intervened but here, tonight, marks the return of the Mr NYC Election Night Live Blog.

By the way, this is the highest turnout NYC election since 1969 -- over 2 millions voters turned out. The eyes of the world are on NYC tonight -- the future is made here.

9:03 PM - Polls closed. The memory sticks are being loaded. Let the games begin! 

9:09 PM - Zohran has 51%, Cuomo has 39%, Sliwa at 8%.

9:16 PM - Democrats leading in Comptroller & Public Advocate elections and Borough President elections -- except Staten Island. Same with City Council.

9:24 PM - Zohran is a tiny bit under 50% now with 51% of the vote in -- 8% over Cuomo. Nothing interesting down-ballot.

9:32 PM - Now with 60% of the vote in, nothing's changed percentage-wise. 

9:36 PM - CNN is calling the Mayor's race of Zohran -- but still more votes to count.

9:47 PM - It's official -- Zohran will be the next Mayor of NYC!

The first Muslim elected mayor, that's wild -- and that's what's great about this city and America!

Is it too early to start calling him Mayor Z?

10:01 PM - Zohran is closing in on getting almost 1 million votes. That's crazy. Koch, Giuliani, Bloomberg, De Blasio, and Adams got nowhere near that many.
