Good questions and one would hope that he’ll be privy to information and not be waving bye to Vance as they pass each other in the hall on Vance’s last and Bragg’s first day.

I’m still wondering what is going on in the mayoral election.
If I read the stats right, Wiley got eliminated but had only a tenth of a percent or less votes than Garcia with a whole bunch of absentee ballots not counted, so it’s not a given she did get eliminated.
It’s been fixed now.

As far as I can tell, No one has been eliminated in the mayors race yet because they haven’t even finished opening the 120k absentee ballots.
why the board of elections insists on running “what if” scenarios eliminating candidates when they haven’t counted all the votes is a complete mystery. It’s worse than useless, as you point out.
Once all the votes are counted, and only then, will the RCV calculations take place. As RCVvoting becomes more widespread, we will need to figure out how to report partial returns in a way that makes sense. But whatever the BoE is doing is not that

I have to tell you - that may be one of the cutest and prettiest children I’ve ever seen in my life. Brava! I bet she’s a beauty now.

So you’re seeing the same thing I’m seeing.
The chart I saw in the NYT did say it didn’t include absentee ballots but didn’t bother to note this meant Wiley wasn’t actually eliminated if you looked the margin between Wiley and Garcia, but it said she was.
If I was being cynical I’d say the BOE was trying to tilt the scale, but the thing is whatever they say isn’t going to change the vote since it’s already happened.

Nope - just spin, dude. Spin and spin and sing the chorus to Uncle John’s Band and pretty soon you’ll have a four part harmony …

Even better was Jr’s 13 minute rant from his bunker - where he said “of course my dad did things like pay for tuition. He takes care of his employees”.

Thank you.
Sometimes she was a little monster. She even got expelled from daycare. Luckily, I can laugh about it now.

I think he has to wait. One cannot assume an election winner in this context.

Looks like the headline is assuming the winner—
New Manhattan DA.
Not new one yet.

TPM is free to speculate on elections and make assumptions. The manhattan DA is not.

At least it’s more realistic than assuming that Curtis Sliwa will be NYC’s next mayor.
Well I LOL’d at that so I’m glad you do now, too.
