The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 24, 2021

David Cruz, WNYC/Gothamist news editor, walks us through the results of the special election in City Council District 15 and discusses Tuesday's extremely low voter turnout.

@BrianLehrer thank you & David to disassemble this puzzle of low voter turnout in @district15. As w/many smoke and mirror intents its the residents blamed for not making change. This the POOREST district in USA- Not Compton, CA, Juliet, IL,Chelsea, MA. A mile away from richest.
