LOWER MANHATTAN — Back in April, longtime Democratic district leader Alice Cancel won a special election for disgraced ex-Assemblyman Sheldon Silver's 65th District seat.
It was tight win — and a victory that could be unseated in Tuesday's Democratic primary, when Cancel will face off against five challengers in the heavily Democratic district.
