Font Size: Former NYPD officer Eric Adams will be the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City after updated vote tallies gave him a narrow lead over former city sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia. Adams led Garcia 50.5% to 49.5% when the Associated Press called the race, a full point closer than last Wednesday’s results. The city’s Board of Elections the day before had mistakenly counted approximately 135,000 invalid ballots, though the original incorrect results mirrored those released Wednesday. The election is the first in New York City’s history to use ranked choice voting, which allows voters to rank up to five of their preferred candidates in order instead of selecting just one. As the additional rounds were tallied, Adams went from being ahead of the field by over 9% beating Garcia by just 8,426 votes.
