(Bloomberg) New York City’s Board of Elections said a counting snafu last week was due to human error after workers failed to clear test ballots in Queens. The mishap had zero impact on the actual results, which were re-released the next day, officials said during a regular meeting of commissioners on Tuesday.
Last week’s release from the Board of Elections showed front-runner Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams holding a lead, with former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia overtaking civil rights lawyer Maya Wiley for second place.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams clinched the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor Tuesday night, maintaining a narrow lead over former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia in the latest ranked-choice voting tabulations, all but assuring his path to becoming the city s next mayor.
The results, which include around 130,000 newly counted absentee and affidavit ballots, show Adams still ahead of Garcia by 8,426 votes, a margin of 1%.
In a statement sent shortly after the results went live Tuesday night, Adams, who would be the second Black man to hold the position, said that while there are still a handful of ballots yet to count the results were clear.
