"Potential Snow Showers Threaten New Hampshire Primary Turnout"

New Hampshire voters may experience light snow on Primary Day, with more snow expected after polls close and overnight into Wednesday. Most areas can expect a dusting or up to 2 inches of snow by midday Wednesday, potentially leading to slippery roads. Another system could bring mixed or rain showers Wednesday night and Thursday as temperatures rise into the 40s. Residents are advised to stay weather aware and can receive updates through the WMUR app.

Primary Day 2023: Historic Wins, Surprises, and Turnout Boost Potential

Democrats in Westchester County, New York, made history in the Primary Day elections. In Yonkers, incumbent Mike Spano won by a wide margin, putting him on track for an unprecedented fourth term. In Mount Vernon, first-term incumbent Shawyn Patterson-Howard broke an historic losing streak by winning over 70% of the vote. In New Rochelle, Yadira Ramos-Herbert won the Democratic primary and could become the city's first woman and person of color to serve as mayor. Spano and Ramos-Herbert will face Republican opposition in the fall, while the Mount Vernon mayor has a clear path to a second term, unopposed.

Low Turnout in New York's June Primary Elections

Today is Primary Day in New York City, with all 51 members of the City Council running in the general election to keep their seats, and primaries for district attorney in the Bronx and Queens. Less than half of the City Council races are being contested, and 13 races feature more than two candidates, making ranked-choice voting necessary. The two district attorneys in the Bronx and Queens are facing more conservative challengers who have criticized them on issues like public safety. Meanwhile, longtime New York City government figure Richard Ravitch, who helped the city navigate crises in the 1970s and 1980s, passed away on Sunday.
