Nixon lost by a very similar margin to Teachout in 2014, with seemingly (I haven't done a regression or anything) a very similar geographic distribution. Do we really think she'd have just won handily but Cuomo coincidentally had juiced turnout and it worked out exactly that way?

It seems to me a simpler explanation that about 1/3 of New York Democrats oppose Cuomo, many of them NYC yuppies/gentrifiers or upstate protest voters, and that this is more or less even across a range of primary turnout propensities.

More interesting is that Cynthia Nixon emphasized the things Left Twitter is always saying challengers should emphasize--single payer! inequality! racial disparities in criminal justice!--and she didn't shift that geographic pattern much at all, as far as I can tell.
