It's the Brian Laris show on WNYC.

Good morning, everyone.

And yep, here we are.

Election Day 2025, finally, right?

Turnout in New York City is headed for the record books, the early

voting turnout, as I'm sure you've been hearing, was the biggest for any non-presidential

election year in the city. It's been very high in New Jersey, too, though it hasn't gotten as

much press, but more than a million votes have already been cast in the governor's race and other

New Jersey elections. So by my back of the envelope calculations, that's about the same rate

of voting as in the city. And as the show goes on, we'll open the phones for late deciders

in our informal, unofficial, thoroughly unscientific, Brian Lerichow exit poll for anyone who has made up your mind on any candidate

or any ballot question in the last two weeks.

Now, since the timing of our first guests is a little bit shaky

because they are the three candidates for mayor,

and it depends when they can

actually get here after voting and stuff. You can start calling in right now. I can't say exactly

when we'll take you, but it might be soon. Call in at 212-433 WNYC. If you're one of those folks who

has decided on any candidate or any ballot question just in the last two weeks,

so we get a sense maybe of where things are trending.

212-433, WNYC, call or text.

212-433-9692.

Also, Bridget Bergen is here to discuss the New York City voting, Nancy Solomon on New Jersey,
