The Issue: The Board of Election\u2019s admission that it miscounted votes in the Democratic mayoral primary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What a surprise that the Board of Elections in New York City has botched the mayoral primary (\u201cMayor race mayhem,\u201d June 30.<\/p>\n

Wasn\u2019t it so much simpler when on Election Day, you went to the polling place, cast your vote and knew by the following day who was deemed the winner?<\/p>\n

But no, now we have elections that last weeks on end. We have a choice to rank five candidates, and that just starts the process. This primary might takes months to complete.<\/p>\n

The left just looks for new ways to upset a system that has worked for over a hundred years. I wonder who is going to benefit from this latest snafu?<\/p>\n

Michael Englert<\/em><\/p>\n

Queens<\/em><\/p>\n

The Board of Elections is a disgrace. This latest screw-up is proof that this board needs to be replaced immedia<\/a>tely.<\/p>\n

People need to be confident that our elections are clean and not subject to fraud.<\/p>\n

Is this really an error or a smokescreen to hide what is going on in secret and keep Eric Adams from winning? After all, he is the strongest anti-crime candidate among the Democrats.<\/p>\n

Robert DiNardo<\/em><\/p>\n

Farmingdale<\/em><\/p>\n

Right, left or center, it is time we as a country begin to seriously question our election process.<\/p>\n

How can any clear-minded person believe that primary- and general<\/a>-election tallies are an accurate reflection of the voice of the people?<\/p>\n

The Board of Elections in a one-party town can\u2019t even count properly and get the numbers straight.<\/p>\n

Sean Strong<\/em><\/p>\n

Lincroft NJ<\/em><\/p>\n

When do you think they will get rid of these totally incompetent people on the Board of Elections?<\/p>\n

Who is held accountable for these mistakes? This whole \u201cranked choice\u201d thing just smells like corruption.<\/p>\n

God only knows how many other elections these idiots screwed up. Let\u2019s get back to just pulling the lever.<\/p>\n

Tony Fasano<\/em><\/p>\n

Staten Island<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is an insane idea when it comes to voting in New York: Why don\u2019t we scrap all the garbage, including ranked-choice voting?<\/p>\n

Go back to the zany old days when people cast their ballots in a city where the parks were still civil and people weren\u2019t being tossed onto subway tracks daily. <\/p>\n

Jake McNicholas<\/em><\/p>\n

The Issue: Robert Johnson\u2019s push for the government to give $14 trillion in reparations to black Americans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If only we could pay reparations to the millions of poor souls who were themselves enslaved and their descendants, who actually suffered for a hundred years after the Civil War under Jim Crow (\u201cBET billionaire Robert Johnson calls for $14T in reparations,\u201d June 30).<\/p>\n

With the exception of providing them to some black senior citizens (which I\u2019d support), paying out $14 trillion in reparations to all black Americans won\u2019t make that right, although it could bankrupt the nation. But maybe that\u2019s the point. <\/p>\n

Bob Wilson<\/em><\/p>\n

Bellingham, Wash.<\/em><\/p>\n

I will support reparations to African Americans, including billionaires like Robert Johnson, when there are equal demands for reparations for Irish-Americans for generations of discrimination as well as American Jews, Mormons, Asian-Americans and all women for their second-class status for most of American history.<\/p>\n

And most of all, to Native Americans, for centuries of both cultural and physical genocide.<\/p>\n

If we insist on hanging out our dirty laundry, let\u2019s ensure that no unclean sheets are hidden.<\/p>\n
