Adams is strong in Staten Island, he didn't do well in Manhattan.
This could be a nail bitter.
First Unofficial Ranked-Choice Mayoral Primary Results: Eric Adams' Lead Shrinks, With Kathryn Garcia Close Behind
This afternoon, the New York City Board of Elections provided its first snapshot of the Democratic mayoral primary results based on the new ranked-choice voting system — and those ranked tallies have changed the leaderboard, shrinking Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams' lead down to 2 points over a new second place finisher, Kathryn Garcia, the city’s former sanitation commissioner. These results are still only based on the in-person votes cast during early voting and on Primary Day.
Currently, Adams holds only a 15,908-vote lead, which is down significantly from the results on Primary Night, when Adams led by 75,000 votes over his closest competitor, Maya Wiley. Based on this latest tally, Wiley is eliminated in the 10th round of counting.
Missing from this tally are the more than 124,000 absentee ballots that voters cast in this election, which account for approximately 15.5% of the total votes. The largest share of those absentee ballots came from Manhattan, followed by Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island.
Election officials began counting those absentee ballots on Monday, and will continue each day until all the votes are tallied. The next ranked-choice tally will be released on Tuesday, July 6th.
Do something positive.
