New York\u2019s Board of Elections keeps finding new definitions of the word \u201cfail.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group that bought voting machines that didn\u2019t work when it was too humid, that couldn\u2019t keep track of its own technology<\/a>, that disqualified more than 80,000 mail-in ballots in the 2020 primaries, admitted Tuesday that \u2014 surprise \u2014 it messed up the first calculation of ranked-choice voting.<\/p>\n

The BOE released results that showed Eric Adams with a roughly 15,000-vote lead over Kathryn Garcia. But hold on: The total number of in-person votes was 140,000 more than on Primary Day.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, it turns out, those were mostly test ballots that were not cleared from the system before the real vote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are aware there is a discrepancy in the unofficial RCV round by round elimination report,\u201d the BOE said, hours after it had already released the figures.<\/p>\n

The official results of the mayoral primaries aren\u2019t expected until July 12, after all absentee ballots are tallied, so there\u2019s plenty of time to count and double-count and trip<\/a>le-count. But it won\u2019t change the fact that the BOE is an embarrassment. It\u2019s a group that has resisted reform and change even as our elected officials sanctimoniously lecture other states about voting rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask the public, elected officials and candidates to have patience,\u201d the BOE wrote Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

Sorry, we\u2019re fresh out of it.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
