The New York City mayoral election was thrown into disarray Tuesday night after the Board of Elections acknowledged a "discrepancy" in the calculation of ranked choice votes, showing 135,000 "test" votes had been added into the count.
The race between Brooklyn borough President Eric Adams and his rivals appeared to narrow significantly after the partial results were released Tuesday afternoon, but hours later the Board removed the tally from its website and said there were issues with it.
Approximately 135,000 additional votes, added into the Board's computer software for testing purposes, were never removed before the actual ballots were added in and those results published online.
