Fernando Ferrer Top Democrat in NYC Mayoral Primary

HeadlineSep 14, 2005

In New York, the Democratic party held its mayoral primary Tuesday. With 100 percent of the precincts reporting Fernando Ferrer won 39.95 percent of the vote — just shy of the 40 percent needed to avoid a runoff with the second place finisher, Anthony Weiner. With more than 25,000 absentee ballots uncounted, Ferrer could still avoid a runoff. The Democratic nominee will then face Mayor Michael Bloomberg in November.
