No, New Yorkers haven't changed their minds, they actually want more of the same

well, they survived Peter, Paul, and Mary, and the Kingston Trio, so maybe this will work out too

Eric Adams is temporarily in the lead ahead of his commie rival, Kathyrn Garcia, but NYC’s “rank choice” election process means that everyone who voted for the commie got a second vote, which was added to Garcia’s total.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams narrowly edged former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia to hang onto first place in the Democratic primary under the preliminary results from the Big Apple’s new instant runoff system. 

Adams hangs on with 51.1 percent of the vote, while Garcia vaults into second place with 48.9 percent of the votes after the Board of Elections tallied the second- through fifth-place choices made by New York voters during the June 22 contest. 

There is just a 15,908-vote gap between Adams and Garcia.

Maya Wiley, a civil rights attorney and former top aide to Mayor Bill de Blasio, was narrowly edged out by Garcia in the 10th round of the ranked-choice voting — and her votes overwhelmingly went to Garcia, figures show. 

However, these results are still preliminary, as they only include the votes cast during early voting and on primary day. 

There remains one big wild card in the race — the still-to-be-counted 124,000 absentee ballots that have been mailed back to BOE offices so far.

So all this hot air about Adam’s edging out Garcia signifying a shift in attitude is just that: hot air. 85% of New Yorkers eligible to vote didn’t bother to do so — I think that’s a vote for the status quo — and of the 15% who did show up at the polls, half of them want a candidate who’s even farther left (way farther, if you can imagine) than De Blasio.

Throw in those absentee ballots still awaiting “counting” by Garcia’s friends, and she’s a shoo-in.
