NYC Board of Elections says all but 55 votes counted; Adams leads Garcia by 0.8% in latest tally
Three weeks and counting.
The Board of Elections on Tuesday morning released nearly complete results from the June 22 primary election that showed Eric Adams’ lead in the Democratic New York City mayoral race shrinking but remaining sturdy enough to dodge a manual recount.
Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, led Kathryn Garcia by 7,153 votes, or about 0.8%, in the final round of ranked-choice elimination, according to the results, which the board said included all affidavit votes and all but 55 pending mail-in ballots. The threshold to require a manual recount is 0.5%.
