ALBANY — Twelve of Albany's 15 wards favored incumbent Mayor Kathy Sheehan in last week's Democratic primary — including three out of the five majority-minority wards in the capital city ...

While each ward has about 6,500 people, only 398 voted in the 3rd Ward, which Ellis won by an unofficial 35 votes, compared to 1,656 in the uptown 8th Ward, which Sheehan claimed by a 900-vote margin.
