MAJOR CLUSTER FUCK IN NEW YORK MAYOR RACE

by Bob Walsh

The New York City Board of Elections is, if news reports are to be believed, populated by political hacks appointed to the board by their uncles, cousins, fathers-in-law and similar neer-do-wells.  

The board has just collectively copped to screwing the pooch big time in last weeks mayoral primary.  It seems that they "accidentally" ran about 135,000 test ballots in with the regular ballots for the official count.   Whoops.

The city has for the first time used rank choice voting which was not expected to give a firm result until several weeks after the election anyway.

Prior to this mess Eric Adams, Brooklyn borough president, had a significant lead.  He was a New York cop, retiring with the rank of Captain.  If elected he will become the second Black mayor of New York City.  The first was the disastrous David Dinkins, possibly the most incompetent idiot to run a major city prior to the current Lori Lightfoot in Chicago..
