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.
