The population of New York's 14th Congressional District was (as of 2016) 691,715: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_14th_congressiona...

The number of votes cast in New York's 14th Congressional District election, 2018 was 141,122: https://ballotpedia.org/New_York%27s_14th_Congressional_Dist...

That's approximately 20% of the total population. I can find no info on what percentage of that 691,715 is eligible voters, but the 4% claim appears pretty ridiculous.
