Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams appeared to take a fragile lead in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, but it could be weeks before it becomes clear who is actually on top in the first citywide election to use ranked choice voting. As ballot counting began Tuesday, a plurality of Democrats ranked Adams as their first choice in the race. It was tough to tell, though, whether that lead would hold. As many as 207,500 absentee ballots remain to be counted, which could be a total game-changer. Voters’ full rankings of the candidates have yet to be taken into account. It could be July before a Democratic winner emerges. #News4Now #NBC4NY
