Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Absentee Ballots Will Decide NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary

HeadlineJul 01, 2021

The New York City Board of Elections has released new preliminary results from the city’s Democratic mayoral primary, one day after accidentally releasing a tally that included 135,000 test ballots. The new numbers show front-runner Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams leading former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia by about 2 percentage points. Civil rights lawyer Maya Wiley placed third, just 347 votes behind Garcia. The city still has to count 124,000 absentee votes in the election, the city’s first using ranked-choice voting.
