But they might not, and that would be really bad for Maloney.

Because of that, they are probably the most Covid-cautious. Many probably voted mail-in.

Only 37,000 votes here and there is a presidential primary this year. It looks like a lot of absentee ballots remaining to count. I agree with the poster above that the remaining ballots are more likely to skew to older voters who decided to absentee vote due to the pandemic.
