And in New York City, the Queens district attorney Democratic primary race is headed for a recount after a tally of paper ballots last week left Borough President Melinda Katz with a lead of just 16 votes ahead of newcomer, 31-year-old public defender and Democratic Socialist Tiffany Cabán. Cabán originally declared victory on election night, as early results put her ahead of Katz by around 1,000 votes. Cabán, who is backed by Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders, ran on a progressive platform of ending cash bail, stopping the prosecution of low-level offenses, decriminalizing sex work, and going after bad landlords, cops and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Cabán’s supporters say over 2,000 affidavit ballots were thrown out, and are calling for those to be counted in the final tally.
