"Voters who spoke to CBS News New York said issues of concern are affordability, immigration, schools, homelessness, crime and policing. For some early voters, this election is make or break. They say if the candidate they voted for doesn't win, they may have no choice but to move out of the city."
""Today, I cast my vote for myself and the Republican line, straight down the line," he said. "Today, it should be the last time we hear that Curtis Sliwa should drop out.""
