Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has won the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, the Associated Press reported Tuesday evening.

With nearly all of the absentee ballots finally counted by the city’s notoriously inept Board of Elections, Adams—a former police officer who would be the city’s second Black mayor—bested former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia by about 8,500 votes, or one percentage point.

This was the city’s first major primary to use a ranked choice voting system meant to avoid costly runoffs and in which voters could order their top five choices, with their ballot moving to their next pick if their previous one was eliminated until one candidate claimed 50 percent support. Adams led by about 80,000 first-choice votes after in-person voting concluded, but Garcia closed much of that gap as about 125,000 thousand absentee ballots were counted and ranked choices tallied in an election run in the shadow of the pandemic that ravaged the city last year.

Seems like the Beast does not favor legal 'pistol packing' types?

And that election system looks like a mess and a half. It takes that long for a lower level election to be decided?

Let me know when the supporters of the losers invade, rampage, and kill.

No.

I was referring to the Capitol insurrection of June 6th.
