This move has put the board\u2019s competency into question.<\/p>\n<p>The board admitted its error in a statement Wednesday that said \u201cyesterday\u2019s ranked choice voting reporting error was unacceptable.\u201d It then cited a \u201chuman error\u201d as the problem, not the RCV technology.<\/p>\n<p>The revised results put retired police officer and Brooklyn borough President Eric Adams in the lead with Katheryn Garcia closely behind him in the Democrat primary.<\/p>\n<p>Political science Professor Christina Greer said RCV gives voters the opportunity to not think as strategically for their one vote and gives more opportunity to women as well as people of color.<\/p>\n<p>New York City\u2019s Board of Elections has an erroneous history and Kathryn Garcia told sources that mayoral candidates are pushing for reforms.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VEcfQfCawW\">pic.twitter.com\/VEcfQfCawW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kathryn Garcia (@KGforNYC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KGforNYC\/status\/1410359828019613698?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 30, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Board of Elections\u2019 error comes as Americans question election integrity and some states have introduced new voting legislation.
