EXCLUSIVE: Byron Brown expands lead on India Walton in latest Buffalo mayoral poll

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – Byron Brown has widened his lead on India Walton in the race for Buffalo mayor to more than 17 points, according to a new WIVB/Emerson College poll released Tuesday, one week before Election Day.

If the vote was today, 53.8% of likely voters said they would vote for Brown, the incumbent mayor running a write-in campaign after losing the Democratic primary. 36.2% of those polled said they would vote for Walton, 6.2% said they remain undecided and 3.8% said they would vote for someone else.

...he's had a "large number" of rubber stamps made to pass out to voters. Any ballots that I've cast over 50+ years have had a clear instructions and spaces for write in votes.

Brown does have that public trust because he brings knowledge of operations & it clearly counts.
