New York City, welcome to ranked-choice voting. It turns out that in the first major election in which the Big Apple used ranked-choice voting, there are already problems. The city’s Board of Elections accidentally counted 135,000 test ballots in the Democratic mayoral primary, skewing the results.
It’s not surprising, because ranked-choice voting is a confusing system and one with many problems beyond delayed election results and problems counting votes. The city should abandon the system as soon as possible.
