Over 50% of the votes cast were mail-in ballots. This is crazy. Running the numbers, this means 63% of mail-in votes for the Democrat. Over 75k votes were cast in total. Someone needs to find out how many votes were cast for NY-27 in the past few elections for comparison. I would find it plausible that Democrats would lean towards mail-in while Republicans would lean towards in-person voting, based on each side's attitude towards the pandemic, but 69-30 and 63-36 is a crazy difference.
