Trust...?

 


New York City’s Board of Election withdrew data it had released earlier purporting to be the first results of the city’s new ranked choice voting system.

The Board of Elections tweeted that it was aware of “a discrepancy” in its report on ranked choice voting results. It didn’t explain what that discrepancy was or whether it potentially had any impact on the reported results.

The confusion was a black mark on New York City’s first major foray into ranked choice voting, and seemed to confirm worries beforehand that the Board of Election, which operates independently from City Hall, was unprepared for the election.

In an earlier statement before the Board of Elections released theirs, Adams' team initially wrote: "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.  

This is a shameful story for this City, and the Country as well. Just a thought
