In the last twelve hours or so, the 2021 Democratic Primary has been thrown into turmoil --- and it remains to be seen whether that turmoil turns into an absolute fiasco
Shades of election night 2020, where the election turned from a clear re-election victory for President Donald Trump into a "Big Steal" in about half a dozen key states, resulting in the faux-election of a faux-POTUS named "Biden"
Fast forward to the 2021 NYC Primary >>> Democrat mayoral candidate Eric Adams had what was described on Primary Night as a "commanding lead" --- and just two days ago, an "insurmountable lead" >>> then, POOF !!! TO THE "COMMANDING" - "INSURMOUNTABLE" LEAD FOR ADAMS
And now the New York City Board of Elections is saying >>> "STOP, WAIT, BUT, ER..., BUT, WAIT, STOP --- OOPS !!! WHAT A GOOF..... WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU SOON WITH BETTER NUMBERS --- WE PROMISE..... JUST A SIMPLE MISTAKE THAT WE CAN FIX, NOTHING TO SEE HERE --- WE PROMISE....." <<<
An interesting concatenation of cascading "votes" apparently resulted in Eric Adams' lead over his next closest opponent, Kathryn Garcia, dropping to just two percent (2%). When Mr. Adams' people watching the count complained about readily apparent anomalies in the new numbers, the NYC BOE supposedly quickly found their "mistake"..... A large tranche (traunch) of votes were the result of "test image votes" accidentally being counted as real votes; and another tranche of votes were the result of certain misplaced "absentee" ballots that were tabulated after primary night.
Not to worry, the BOE temporarily "stopped the count" (When did we hear that before ??? --- Oh yeah, election night 2020 !!! ) to look into things and fix the problems.....
According to the BOE, this is not a systemic problem with the ranked choice-voting mayoral primary --- it is a simple mistake that can be simply fixed. [Just give us time to put that fix in there..... for good.....]
To us, this is more Democrat corruption, with their NYC Republican partners standing by at their sides, and participating in all of it with their passivity. When elections can no longer be relied upon to give the people representative government, the people need to take to the streets and re-establish representative government by "any and all means necessary" under the Constitution.
