Fact check: What were the voter turnout numbers for the 2024 NY-14 House election?

1. Summary of the results

The 2024 NY-14 House election saw Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decisively win re-election to her congressional seat. The total voter turnout numbers show some variation between sources:

• 191,792 total votes were cast according to one source ^[1]
• 192,551 total votes were reported by another source ^[2]

The vote distribution remained consistent across sources:

• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 68.9-69.2% of the vote ^{[1] [2]}
• Tina Forte: 30.7-30.8% of the vote ^{[1] [2]}

For broader context, 60.2% of registered voters turned out for the general election across New York City ^[3], though this figure encompasses all races, not specifically NY-14.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The analyses provide limited context about what these turnout numbers mean in historical perspective. Key missing information includes:

• Comparison to previous NY-14 elections - No data on whether this represents higher or lower turnout than Ocasio-Cortez's previous races
• Total number of registered voters in NY-14 specifically - While we know the citywide turnout rate was 60.2% ^[3], we don't have the district-specific registration numbers to calculate the actual turnout percentage for NY-14
• Demographic breakdown of the turnout - No information about which communities within the district participated at higher or lower rates
• Impact of redistricting - No mention of whether boundary changes affected turnout patterns

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself contains no apparent bias or misinformation - it simply asks for factual voter turnout data. However, there are some data discrepancies in the source materials:

• Minor vote count variation exists between sources, with a difference of 759 votes between the reported totals (191,792 vs 192,551) (p2_s1 vs p2_s2)
• Slight percentage differences in the reported vote shares, though these are likely due to rounding differences in preliminary vs. final counts (p1_s1 vs p1_s3)

These discrepancies are typical of election reporting where preliminary and final certified results may differ slightly, and do not suggest intentional misinformation.
