In reply to the discussion: Now we know why DA Brag refused to release letters of resignation [View all]Princess Turandot
(4,823 posts)25. Uhm, Bragg won the NY DA Dem primary with 34% of the vote. He received a whopping 86,000 votes
There were 8 candidates. The person who came in second won 31% of the vote; the other 6 split the remainder.
None of the 8 candidates had a household name that would automatically carry them to victory. In each candidate's case, at least 66% of the voters did not support them.
The winner of the Democratic primary was going to win the general. That's how Bragg came to be elected.
