And that the Board of Elections has handled twice the usual turnout without a catastrophe is a credit to one of the most mocked and usually dysfunctional arms of municipal governance (not part of state gov, not part of city gov, a distinct third thing — party hackery!)

Highest turnout since 1977 was David Dinkins vs. Rudy Giuliani, which hit 1.9m in both 1989 and 1993.
That’s 1,013,381 today as of 6pm and I believe 1.855M total including preliminary mail in ballots.
Looks sure to pass 2M votes by 9pm.
