“#Eric Adams rips plans to reveal results before ranked-choice count<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Mayoral hopeful Eric Adams is questioning the city\u2019s plan to release initial results of Tuesday\u2019s mayoral primary that night, arguing that the weeks-long wait between the initial count and the final ranked-choice result will leave voters suspicious of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are going to feel as though there\u2019s something hanky panky going on. We should hold all the numbers until we have the final number,\u201d Adams told reporters in Brooklyn Sunday morning after an app<\/a>earance at St. George\u2019s Episcopal Church in Bedford-Stuyvesant.<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s election will be the city\u2019s first where voters can list their top five candidates. <\/p>\n

The change means that voters are effectively casting ballots for the first round and any potential runoff at the same time.<\/p>\n

But officials have said it will likely take weeks to calculate second, third, fourth and fifth choice votes because state law requires them to wait until absentee ballots are returned.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters Sunday, Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, said he had no choice but to accept the BOE\u2019s plan because it is official city policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s are the rules,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to play by the rules, and we\u2019re going to tell our supporters and voters, \u2018Let\u2019s remain patient.\u2019 \u201c<\/p>\n

Adams previously supported ranked-choice voting, which was approved in 2019 by 75 percent of city voters. He praised the system as \u201cthe right way\u201d to avoid costly runoff elections at a 2018 rally, according to a contemporary report on Observer.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the now-mayoral frontrunner changed his tune last year due to a lack of education about ranked-choice voting \u2014 and called on Mayor Bill de Blasio to fund educational outreach about the new system. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is imperative that every New Yorker understand this major shift that we are about to put in place in our city,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n

In December, the NAACP\u2019s New York chapter and a group of six city council members then sued to delay the new voting system. All but one of the council members who sued back Adams for mayor.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit, which was unsuccessful, argued that the city did not have a plan to properly educate voters about the new system, thereby \u201cdepriving\u201d New Yorkers with limited English proficiency of their voting rights.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
