NYC Mayoral Race

[B-Man]

The "New normal"

 

New York City is still figuring out last week's election

 

Just in case you’re wondering who won last week’s Democratic primary in New York City’s mayoral race, there will be new updates later today. But to save you a little bit of time, we can give you the short version of it. Keep wondering. There will not be a winner announced after today’s next round of voting and this process will be continuing for weeks to come.

You're a moran. 

 

This is a ranked voting process and they knew it would take weeks. But be sure to foment this into something, paste-man.

Eric Adams suggests ‘irregularities’ as New York City mayor’s race tightens.

 

According to New York City Board of Elections officials, the final results from New York City’s first ranked-choice-voting primary, a hotly contested Democratic contest, may not be tabulated until July.

 

In ranked-choice voting, voters can list up to five candidates. If no candidate gets at more than 50% in the first round, voting tabulation continues in additional rounds.

 

The candidate who places last in each round is eliminated, and those votes are shifted to the voter’s next-choice candidate.

 

“The vote total just released by the Board of Elections is 100,000-plus more than the total announced on election night, raising serious questions,” Adams said in a statement Tuesday.”We have asked the Board of Elections to explain such a massive increase and other irregularities before we comment on the Ranked Choice Voting projection.”

Brooklyn Borough President and former police officer Eric Adams had been the surprise leader in the race when he came in first place last Tuesday, with 82 percent of the results in. That didn’t make some on the left happy, although he was still a Democrat. The election has ranked-choice voting and he was the first choice of 31.6 percent of the people whose votes had been counted to that point, with Maya Wiley second with 22.3% and Kathryn Garcia third with 19.7%.

 

But whoops! (Tell me if you have flashbacks.) Suddenly, today, votes show up and vaulted the third-place person into second, with just a narrow lead remaining for Adams, with some 124,000+ absentee votes yet to count. Funny that.

 

The difference now is only about 16,000 votes, so it’s entirely conceivable now that Garcia could catch up.

 

Eric Adams is clearly not happy at all and he’s raising questions about where the 100,000 votes suddenly came from.

 

“The vote total just released by the Board of Elections is 100,000-plus more than the total announced on election night, raising serious questions,” the Adams statement says. “We have asked the Board of Elections to explain such a massive increase and other irregularities before we comment on the Ranked Choice Voting projection. We remain confident that Eric Adams will be the next mayor of New York because he put together a historic five-borough working class coalition of New Yorkers to make our city a safer, fairer, more affordable place.”

 

The 100,000 didn’t come from absentee ballots — they didn’t even start counting those yet. All they have is the day of and the early voting. So it seems a pretty good question.

 

The NY Board of Elections is saying they’re aware of a “discrepancy.”

So they caught the error and are fixing it. Imagine that. when there’s a mistake, it gets fixed. Not spun into a fantasy conspiracy to overthrow the democratic process.

Absolutely.  Mistakes happen.  They simply forgot to clear tests votes amounting to the population of a Syracuse, NY or Alexandria, Virginia.  That created the appearance that one candidate had a substantial lead, when in fact, he didn’t, the third place candidate was actually the second place candidate, and the person in second place wasn’t actually in the hunt at all.  Now the first place candidate (coincidentally a former police officer apparently popular despite the defund the police sentiments of the day), seems concerned there is something nefarious is afoot, when everyone knows absolute trust in our voting process is The Way.  He’s being silly. This ***** happens all the time.  Margin of error.  Slip of the tongue.  Loose lips sink ships.

Yes, the conspiracy story is always better than the truth that idiots in government make mistakes. One answer is sexy. The other, so, so mundane.

Especially since there were zero mistakes about 18 months ago. None. Nationwide. Nothing needed to be looked at.

Why the snark?  I agreed that this sort of thing is much ado about nothing, and as natural as the swallows returning to Capistrano.

 

Adams should be excoriated for even questioning a simple keystroke error that resulted in a 135,000 vote miscue.  Statistical anomaly.  No big deal. It’s like spelling his name Aadams or some’in like that. 
 

Special credit for referencing the Rhino though.  He’d appreciate that. Or, be mildly concerned.

When a NY politician questions election results, I’m just glad it’s not an assault on democracy, kids with freckles and apple pie.

Uh well there were some 65 lawsuits and many audits. Still waiting on the widespread evidence of fraud. And waiting. And waiting. 
 

This mistake was caught and corrected in a single day.

Ah, you should have just said that.  Thank you for your service.

What's the problem ?

 

Everything was caught and corrected in one day.

 

 

But that may not be all if Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman is to be believed. Wasserman said there appears to be a lot of Election Day underreporting going on, including in pro-Adams areas. So another issue that could count against the pro-police Democrat? And this is just the election day and early votes, they haven’t even gotten into the question of the 124,000 plus absentee votes which reportedly will take them some time to further count

Oh wait so there are uncounted absentee votes. Just like everyone said would happen. Goodness B-man your pearls!

WHY THE LEFTY PANIC OVER ERIC ADAMS?

 

Liberals Didn't Pounce on Eric Adams Just for Questioning New York's Election. They Had...Another Reason.

 

The left is living in dread fear of losing minority votes.

 

That’s powering their divisive and nakedly racist policies now.

 

They actually believe that undermining the entire American project and teaching us all to hate each other is their path to retaining power. And they may be right!

 

Adams is nominally a Democrat but has long been suspected of being a closet Republican as are many cops of all ethnicities. As Democrats defund police, police chiefs in big cities more openly question and criticize them.

 

Look what’s going on in Michigan. There, a deeply unpopular Democrat governor is set to be challenged by the retired police chief of Detroit, who is both black and a Republican.

 

 

 

Popcorn.
