State Sen. Myrie Reelected In NY's 20th District

Updated at 9 a.m., Wednesday

BROOKLYN, NY — State Sen. Zellnor Myrie has won a second term representing the 20th District, according to NY1.

The race for the Brooklyn district was called early Wednesday morning after Zellnor brought in more than 97 percent of the vote, or about 77,000 votes, according to the news outlet.

Myrie's challenger, Libertarian Tucker Coburn, held just 2.5 percent of the vote, or 2,000 votes, total.

The results did not include absentee ballots, which the BOE will begin counting next week.

The 20th District stretches over parts of Crown Heights, Brownsville, Prospect Heights, Park Slope and down to Sunset Park.

Before Election Day, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers had already cast their votes as the coronavirus crisis prompted an unprecedented level of mail-in and early voting.

Brooklyn saw the most early voters of any borough, with more than 373,000 people in the borough casting their ballots before Tuesday despite hours-long lines at overloaded poll sites. Mail-in ballots also went out to a large number of Brooklynites, albeit with some problems due to a printing error.

Some long lines and other polling site issues continued into Election Day, though most voters reported smooth sailing at the polls.
