How Defund the Police Roiled Competitive Races in New York – The New York Times

I dont see Democrats putting anything forward as a plan other than orange-man bad, said Vinny Papa, 54, who works as a parts manager at a car dealership in Suffolk County.

Mr. Papa, an independent voter who said he has voted for both Democrats and Republicans, said he is not a big Trump supporter, but voted for Mr. Trump because Republicans are bad, and the Democrats are a hundred times worse.

Dana Gencarelli, 35, a mother of two young children, said that she was happy with Ms. Malliotakiss lead because her top concern was public safety, a priority she said Mr. Rose did not share.

Do I always feel Republicans are doing the right thing? No, she said, as she had pizza with family outside of Leos in Bay Ridge. But right now the Democrats arent doing the right thing.

Still others, including Cameron Lory Faulds, a Bay Ridge resident who has voted for both parties in the past, voted for the entire Democratic ticket, including Joseph R. Biden Jr. as did her husband, who is a registered Republican. Her social views, she said, were key in her choice of candidates.

Im not voting for Trumps enablers, she said standing by a yard sign outside her home that read: Im a Republican but not a fool! Biden 2020.

In many cases, however, voters appeared jaded by an election cycle that devolved into one of the most bruising and divisive in recent memory. With the outcome of the election still uncertain, some voters preferred not to express their political views or say who they had voted for.
