Top from last 48 hrs NYC mayor's race remains tight with Adams leading in revised tally. New York Times (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 80% • 6 min read On Wednesday, Eric Adams led Kathryn Garcia a margin of around 2 percentage points, in the final round. Those numbers could be scrambled again as the city's Board of Elections tabulates ranked-choice outcomes that will include roughly 125,000 Democratic absentee ballots, with a fuller result not expected until mid-July. ... A fiasco stemmed from an egregious error by the Board of Elections: Roughly 135,000 sample ballots, used to test the city's new ranked-choice system, had been mistakenly counted. The board was forced to retract the results from a tabulation of ranked-choice preferences, just hours after it had published them on Tuesday. ...

She moved from third place into second, edging past Ms. Wiley, though Mr. Adams benefited when Mr. Yang was eliminated as well.
