Some parts of NYC in the NY Times map have “other” getting close to 10% of the vote.

But still, it’s nothing but Dems and Reps winning; even though third party support is significant.

Agreed. NYC (particularly Lynne Serpe for me) is a disappointment tonight.

Especially since she outspent the Democratic Party’s nominee.

Lynne actually didn’t outspend the incumbent – he raised close to $12,000 more than her as of the last public filing, and he held a big fundraiser the day after that.

At Ballot Access News, Richard Winger posted the numbers from the 2005 Mayor race, which make an interesting comparison.
In 2005, the percentages had been:
Michael Bloomberg (Republican, Independence) 58.40%
Fernando Ferrer (Democratic) 39.02%
Thomas Ognibene (Conservative) 1.13%
Anthony Gronowicz (Green) .64%
Jimmy McMillan (Rent is Too Damn High) .32%
Audrey Silk (Libertarian) .22%
Martin Koppel (Socialist Workers Party) .17%
Seth Blum (Education) .09%.

Oh, and here are the update (yet, still unofficial) results from 2009 Mayor race from NY1. Note that on the recount in NY, the minor parties usually go up a lot. Election workers are usually Dems and Reps who often don’t take the time to catch the figures for the lower rows…
Michael Bloomberg (GOP) 50.61%
William Thompson (Dem) 46.04%
Stephen Christopher (Con) 1.66%
Billy Talen (Grn) 0.81%
Francisca Villar (PSL) 0.32%
Jimmy McMillan (Oth) 0.24%
Joseph Dobrian (Lib) 0.18%
Daniel Fein (SWP) 1496 0.14%

In District 54, I saw that the total votes for third party and independent candidates was at 10%.
