Less than 14 percent of registered Democrats bothered to vote in this month's mayoral primary,which Mayor Bill de Blasio won by a substantial margin. But his voters—of which there were 343054—hardly declare the whole legend of what happened on September 12. The city's Board of Elections on Thursday released the full vote count, which includes all the write-in candidates.
