NY breaks lowest voter turnout record in governors race

New York voters shattered a record in Tuesday's elections — but no one's going to be bragging about it.

This record is for the lowest turnout in a New York gubernatorial election in the modern era.

Only 3.7 million people bothered to go to the polls — the fewest since the state Board of Elections began keeping precise tallies in the 1970s.

That means only about one-third of the state's 10.8 million active voters filled out ballots to re-elect Gov. Cuomo.

"That's unbelievably low, extremely low," said political consultant Bruce Gyory. It's the first time the vote has dipped below 4 million, said board spokesman John Conklin.

The previous low point came in 1990, when 4.2 million people elected Mario Cuomo — the current governor's dad — to a third term over little-known Republican Pierre Rinfret and Conservative Party rival Herb London.

Tuesday's turnout was particularly dreadful in New York City — accounting for 27 percent of the total state share, down from 30 percent in 2010, according Gyory's analysis.
