[–><!–>The results certified this week from New York City’s mayoral primary election provide the clearest picture yet — down to each voter’s ranked-choice ballot — of how Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani pulled off a major upset over former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. Here’s what the ballots show.–><!–>

[–><!–>Opponents of Mr. Cuomo, who had resigned as governor in scandal, ran an unusual campaign urging voters to leave him off their ballots altogether. They called it DREAM, or Don’t Rank Evil Andrew for Mayor. It appears to have had success. Although Mr. Cuomo placed second overall in the race, 54 percent of voters did not put him on their ballots at all. These voters were concentrated in Manhattan and the parts of Brooklyn and Queens closest to it, like Williamsburg, Astoria and Brooklyn Heights.–><!–>
