Tuesday was the first election in the city\u2019s history to use ranked choice voting, and its initial tally included incorrect preliminary vote counts before the board withdrew them hours later.<\/p>\n<p>Adams, who was the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/21\/eric-adams-frontrunner-new-york-city-mayor-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">frontrunner<\/a> in the campaign\u2019s final days, leads Garcia by 14,755 votes, while Maya Wiley finished third after totaling just 347 shy of second. His lead, however, is not guaranteed, since New York City is waiting until July 6 to count approximately 125,000 absentee ballots that could decide who will likely be its next mayor.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7227773\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"32\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7227773\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7227773 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GettyImages-1325262331-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams speaks to reporters on June 24.
