not only was i a law enforcement officer. i was beat and abused by police officers, but i went inland side and i pushed for reform and change. i know there are those who feel this is not the moment we should come together, but i don t believe that, and countless number of new yorkers and americans have proved just the opposite. it is time for us to come together. during the counting process, you sued the board of elections after they miss counted about 135,000 ballots that were test ballots. are you going to keep up with this lawsuit now that you re the apparent winner? no, and the lawsuit was to really safeguard the paper and the documents so that we won t have any shenanigans, i would like to say. but it s clear that it was my team that identified that the board of election had more votes than actual voters that came into the polling places. and once we found out that, we
a ton of problems, right? yeah, i would say so. you can remember we had election day. then june 29th, which was last tuesday, you were supposed to get those rank choice results but they released them with test ballots included. so we had to wait an extra day to finally get those corrected rank choice without absentees. then yesterday, the new york city board of elections promised these rank choice with absentees close to brunch time but released in early evening. i m not much of a brunch eater, folks. i know that early evening is not a time for brunch. finally, turn out higher one of the reasons for rank choice was to increase voter interest in there and certainly has compared to the last decades we ve seen here. there s still some votes added to this, but this is the all of it. this includes everybody and what you see here, look at this, 939,000 voters. look at that. the next closest was 786,000,
135,000 test ballots. oh, my god, clean out the machine. this is not you are supposed to be doing this for a living. you had one job and they couldn t do that. then you finally get the results right with the rank choice voting without the absentees on june 30th. they corrected it. then you jump forward to today, july 6. the new york city board of elections promises rank choice with absentees close to brunch. they released it in early evening. i m looking forward to my dinner. i look forward to your dinner as well. thank you, that s very kind. coming up, an update from georgia on the murder of a golf pro and two others found dead at a country club outside of atlanta. that s next.
but instead we obviously ended up getting these about 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. tonight. that is a head scratcher here. to be fair, they did say because of that issue that popped up last week, they had another layer of counting, but at the same time they attempted to downplay what happened when they accidentally counted 135,000 test ballots saying it was a catch-22, laura. new yorkers, i don t know if they ll buy that. i m wondering, has the person who came in second so far, garcia, has she conceded? no concession as of this point. she s only put out a statement saying she plans to share some remarks tomorrow at central park, again, at that particular location that certainly has a message in itself. thank you, polo. actress howard university dean phylicia rashad is getting a lot of backlash after her tweet about bill cosby following his release from prison last week. now some people at howard are
