New York Voters Head to Polls for Primary Today
-----------------------------------------------

And in New York, voters are heading to the polls today for a Democratic
primary in which several candidates hope to continue the progressive
insurgency to unseat powerful Democratic incumbents.
Actress-turned-activist Cynthia Nixon is challenging Governor Andrew
Cuomo, New York City Councilmember Jumaane Williams is taking on Lt.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and anti-corruption activist Zephyr Teachout and New
York City Public advocate Letitia James are among four Democrats running
to replace Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who was forced to resign
in May after being accused of physically assaulting at least four women.
