The Issue: Voters’ choice between Andrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa on Election Day.
To all who plan to vote for Andrew Cuomo simply because “Curtis Sliwa can’t win”: You’re surrendering before the fight even begins. I’m deeply disappointed in the New York Post for echoing that same tired excuse (“Vote to stop ‘Mamageddon,’ ” Editorial, Oct. 28).
Sliwa may not be a career politician, but he’s what New York needs right now.
He’s strong on crime, grounded in reality and unafraid to challenge the status quo.
Cuomo’s record, meanwhile, speaks for itself.
Don’t let the polls manipulate you — they’ve been wrong before.
It’s not too late to think independently, vote with conviction and give this city a real chance at recovery.

Knowing he can’t win and will likely provide a path for Zohran Mamdani should be enough for Sliwa to withdraw, even at this late stage.
If he refuses to, it would be sensible for his supporters to not waste their votes.
Hold your noses and vote for Cuomo.

In a city of boundless talent in business, finance, law and the arts, the mayoral race consists of a cartoon in a red beret, an arrogant political nepo baby and an antisemite with the economic savvy of a privileged college freshman at a small liberal arts college.
New York isn’t having an election — it’s having a nightmare.

Hopefully the winning candidate will not be reminiscent of the “pied piper,” who led children out of the town with his music because he was not paid for ridding Hamelin of its rats.
Mamdani is using charming language, like music to the ear, by promising free things to entice naive voters, while the other two promise not to raise taxes.
When these promises can’t be fulfilled, voters will realize they foolishly followed a pipe dream.

Election Day could be the beginning of the end for this city if Mamdani, a socialist — not a Democrat — is elected mayor.

It is time for New Yorkers to get out and vote on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
This mayoral election comes down to who can best run this city and the choice is up to all concerned citizens.
Homelessness, crime, illegal immigration and the rising cost of housing and food are issues the new mayor has to try to solve.
That is why I will vote for Sliwa, who I think will make our city a safer place to live.

Election Day will determine whether New Yorkers move south to red states or just west to New Jersey — if the Garden State turns Red by electing Jack Ciattarelli as governor.

The Issue: Letitia James referencing Martin Luther King Jr. as she pleaded not guilty to mortgage fraud.
Attorney General Letitia James is accusing President Trump of weaponizing his Department of Justice, but she ran her election campaign bragging that she was going to go after Trump if elected.
(“I have a scheme!” Oct. 25).
It’s the same old Democrat playbook: Do as they say, not as they do.
James reciting Dr. King in her “I’m innocent of all charges” speech was disgraceful and disrespectful to the late civil rights leader.

I was appalled by James’ Martin Luther King Jr. delivery.
Her smug smile and arrogant behavior discredits the words and actions of the iconic civil rights leader.
