Eric Adams has poor leadership after a revised count in the NYC mayoral contest
Revised the count of New York mayoral votes released on Wednesday, Kathryn Garcia was even closer to leader Eric Adams who pushed the race into chaos than a miscalculation on Tuesday.
The latest table gave Adams, a retired police captain and Brooklyn neighborhood president, a 51.1 percent vote, with former head of the sanitation department Garcia up 48.9 percent, up from previous counts.
However, the gap between the democratic candidates was reduced from 15,908 votes to 14,755 votes, and there are still a few 124,000 votes left to count.
A third-place candidate, Maya Wiley, said the election is “still open” and called for all votes to be counted.
