The article discusses the DREAM campaign's efforts to dissuade voters from ranking Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming Democratic primary. This grassroots group, founded last fall, emphasizes understanding New York City's ranked-choice voting system. Lawrence Wang, a campaign organizer, warns voters against ranking Cuomo at all to better ensure other candidates have a chance. The campaign actively engages with voters in busy areas like Bed-Stuy, using man-on-the-street videos to spread their message and educate the public.
"If you put Cuomo on your ballot, you are voting for Cuomo. If you don't want to vote for Cuomo, don't rank him third, don't rank him last, don't rank him at all."
"DREAM stands for 'Don't Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor,' and aims to educate New Yorkers about the city's new ranked-choice voting system."
