BUT they are now changing their story.

Then the Board of Elections tweeted that it was aware of “a discrepancy” in its report on ranked choice voting results

Just before 10:30 p.m. it released a statement saying that 135,000 ballot images it had put into its computer system for testing purposes had never been cleared.

“The Board apologizes for the error and has taken immediate measures to ensure the most accurate up to date results are reported,” it said in a statement.

Yeah, right

Just a "discrepancy"...an "error"

It warms my heart to see Dems get burned by what they claim NEVER happens

Ranked-choice voting is a Dem scam. A scheme dreamed-up by the academic Left to insure their ideology gets elected not necessarily their candidate. Flood the ballot with enough Lefty choices and a small number of conservative/moderate/libertarian candidates and eventually one of them will get elected.

Adams the vegetarian, activist-LEO secured black-voters, Asian voters, middle & lower-class voters and law n'order voters
Garcia, long-time city employee, secured Spanish-speaking voters and a sizable chunk of middle-class and lower-class voters.
Wiley, the left of deBlasio progressive candidate, secured liberal-White voters, academics, and upper-class voters.
Yang, the guy with ideas but not a NYC resident secured some Wall St voters, some academics and some upper & middle class voters.

Hard to believe people are getting shot and killed in Times Square. I was there with my family 5 years ago and you couldn't cross the street without tripping over an NYPD LEO.

It was more fun in the '70s. 42d over by the Port Authority was even sleazier. Far too wholesome now.

I went to high school in Manhattan in the 70s.
A daily trek through the Port Authority bus terminal right across the street from Show World (a sleazy looking peep show establishment)

Those days are not missed.

I have no faith in those morons or California that keep voting for the same scum.

We lived outside of the city in the early '70s, but my dad's office was in Rockefeller Center, and even at ten years old, I knew that part of town was way more than sleazy.

I was kidding, but the Disney-fication of Times Square is kind of sad, too.

NYC had a nice run from the mid-80's up until 5-6 years ago; Ed Koch helped get things started, Dinkins was forgettable, Giuliani led the rebirth as once crappy neighborhoods were transformed and Bloomberg lately kept things going.
Today, Lower East Side is desperate to return back to being it's 70's era, heroin-infested hang-out. Brooklyn benefited the most with upscale neighborhoods and various corporate offices popping-up, it also is at risk of sliding back to it's 70's era grimy-grind.

Eric Adams squeaked out a likely victory in the city’s Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday based on a preliminary count of the final vote tally by the embattled Board of Elections.

Adams emerged narrowly ahead of Kathryn Garcia, 50.5 percent to 49.5 percent, according to unofficial figures posted on the BOE’s website.

The 403,333 votes for Adams gave him an edge of 8,426 over Garcia, who got 394,907.

Adams lead had shrunk substantially down to just under 15,000 votes. That was close enough that some progressives became hopeful the counting of more than 120,000 absentee ballots would hand the race to either Kathryn Garcia or Maya Wiley. But that didn’t happen. Adams’ lead was cut in half but 8,000 votes is more than the 3,700 absentee votes that are left to count. In short, even if every one of those outstanding votes goes against him it won’t be enough to change the outcome

The fact that a law and order message won in NYC has to be giving other progressives chills about 2022. It’s just one more clear signal that the BLM sponsored “defund the police” message is a loser, even in deep blue territory

Now let's see if he follows through on any of his support the police and get the crime under control narrative. I wish him the best of luck with that effort. Beyond that, his agenda and beliefs aren't likely to increase the IQ of the mayor's office or the city's future much.

Imagine that


“…The fact that a law and order message won in NYC has to be giving other progressives chills about 2022. It’s just one more clear signal that the BLM sponsored “defund the police” message is a loser, even in deep blue territory…”

Whomever wins is gonna be shit, so it doesn't matter. The voters of NYC seem to really love wallowing in shit. They keep electing shit. They see what's happening to their city, and yet, they keep electing stinking commies. Well, keep doing it, assholes. Nobody cares.

I hope it gets so bad, people won't be able to walk down any street in NYC without police escort. I hope every business leaves and never returns.

Cheers.

I wouldn't touch that hole with yours...

Make no mistake, Adams is a Leftist. His work as a police officer was simply a stepping stone to 'bigger things'. The fact that HE ran on a law n'order platform, is all you need to know about the other candidates in that race.

He'll have his hands full with the hardcore lefties that will/are infesting each of the city council seats. Think AOC-types, frothing at the mouth ideologues.

The Rotten Apple is a festering chancre that sucks up tax $$ from the balance of the state.

So just like Philadelphia, actual elections are a mere formality, as soon as the Democrat cinches the primary nomination, they are essentially the new incoming mayor.

That’s how solid blue cities and states roll.

It’s got to be very discouraging for Republicans.

And now this:

https://www.breitbart.com/poli...million-noncitizens/


Up to one million noncitizens living in New York City will have access to the ballot box after Mayor Eric Adams (D) on Sunday approved legislation by the city council to automatically become law.

The law promises to be be a boon for the city’s massive 3.1 million-strong foreign-born population, which makes up almost 40 percent of its resident population, while at the same time diluting the municipal votes of millions of American citizens who live in the city.

Beneficiaries could vote in municipal elections as early as next year unless a judge halts its implementation

The Board of Elections will next draw up an implementation plan by July, including voter registration rules and provisions that would create separate ballots for municipal races to prevent noncitizens from casting ballots in federal and state contests.

yeah, I bet they do a great job keeping a million noncitizens from voting in state and federal elections
