How many congressional races for districts in the five boroughs? The New York Times doesn't have "enough reporters" to do even basic coverage of the races in its home city? Seriously?

D3 includes North East Queens. It is a NYC race, not to mention a shit load of its constituents work in the city. Final vote tally is 250,000+ which is more than some other districts with their borders exclusively within NYC.

Doesn't this district include part of queens?

The New York Times had plenty of staff.

But some of the reporters were out on the streets of NYC trying to fish for quotes like “I feel safe and never worry about crimes”, which was obviously more important to them than covering candidates like Santos.
