   Cuomo Defeats a Liberal Rival in the Pri

   She faced Mr. Wu, a professor at Columbia Law School who is   
   known in technology circles for having popularized the term “net   
   neutrality.”   
      
   Mr. Cuomo spent considerable time and energy promoting Ms.   
   Hochul’s candidacy in recent days, flying to the Buffalo area on   
   the eve of the primary to rally for her. He enlisted some of the   
   leading names in Democratic politics to vouch for her, including   
   former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mayor Bill   
   de Blasio of New York City, who hailed her as a “true   
   progressive.”   
      
   On a day with low turnout, many voters who did show up at the   
   polls said they had been moved to express their feelings about   
   Mr. Cuomo.   
      
   John Shea, 65, a retired editor who lives in Williamsburg,   
   Brooklyn, said he voted for Ms. Teachout, explaining that he   
   liked Mr. Cuomo but was disappointed with his decision to shut   
   down the Moreland Commission.   
      
   “This is a message,” Mr. Shea said. “He’s going to win anyway,   
   but I want to teach him a lesson.”   
      
   Another voter in Williamsburg, Sandra Glading, 37, who works in   
   communications, said she had some reservations about Mr. Cuomo’s   
   prolific fund-raising. But she said she approved of much of his   
   work as governor, pointing to his success at pushing through the   
   legalization of same-sex marriage.   
      
   “He is, for better or for worse, someone who can get stuff   
   done,” she said.
