Nothing underscores this more dramatically than the mega-fiasco surrounding the New York City Democratic mayoral primary. As the world knows now, some 135,000 non-existent votes were somehow magically injected into the system.
The winner of this supposed “ranking system” election (it certainly was “rank” in every sense of the world) is naturally suing and we seem headed for a do-ever.
This primary was, needless to say, virtually the city’s mayoral election since New York voters these days seem constitutionally allergic to Republicans, or to civic health, for that matter. They already showed their great intelligence electing Bill De Blasio in the first place, perhaps the most universally hated politician of our time.
As someone born in NYC when it was a wonderful place to live, I look on the demise of that once great city as a true domestic, even a global, tragedy.
But this demise has something to tell us. New York is the media capital of the world and it (they) have been lying to us and themselves for a long time, decades really.
The old line “If you can make it New York, you can make it anywhere,” now has redolence we never anticipated. Maybe it should be rewritten as “If New York can [blank] it up, anybody can.”
It should tell us that election fraud or malfeasance or just plain gross error, all of them together or separately, are not only possible everywhere in our country, they likely have happened everywhere—or nearly.

I wonder what Eric Adams thinks now.
The election fraud wouldn’t have been exposed at all if it hadn’t been two Dems fighting and cheating each other.
I like it that the ranking system was tested, but it POs me that the authorities are too stupid to remove the test ballots...
I know what I THINK......SCHADENFREUDE!!
I do not want that skank hypocrite and DeBalsio acolyte Wiley to get in office. It’s hard to imagine but she would be even worse than DeBlasio.
Leftists are completely unprincipled. Adams deserves everything he gets, and more.
I agree and wonder what Eric Adams thinks now. But there are no newsmen, or women, anymore who have the cojones to ask that question.
Hey....the whites don’t want a BLACK man to run the city.....especially one with GUNS! RACIST New Yorkers!!
NYC has nothing but RAT politicians left (for the most part) as a result of their policies over the last 20 years - they are now forced to cheat and turn on each other, it was inevitable.
you are assuming it actually was an error
the errors always seem to favor the preferred candidate
It is one of those plausibility things. It is entirely plausible that the idiots are capable of running the test ballots with the real ballots.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if it were fraud, but I’ll grant them incompetence as long as they acknowledge it and try to fix it.
I would really like an honesty and competently moderated test of ranked voting.
Voter fraud is rampent. I know I no longer trust any election in this country.
it works and will continue to work for the enemy
