Socialists lose Buffalo to write in candidate (before 3 am anyway)

(Democrat but not a Socialist)

"The incumbent Democratic mayor of Buffalo — running as a write-in candidate — declared victory on Tuesday night as he led a nearly 20 point lead over his Democratic Party opponent.

India Walton, a socialist backed by many high-profile progressives, refused to concede to Mayor Byron Brown in the highly-publicized contest until her campaign sees “all the votes,” her spokesman Jesse Myerson told The Post via text."
