What Went Wrong in the NYC Mayoral Primary Vote?

The transcript discusses a human error in a mayoral race where dummy ballots were mistakenly counted. Susan Lerner explains that the error was not due to technology but a failure to remove test ballots. Despite the error, the election results will not be delayed, and the final count is expected by July 12th. Mayor de Blasio's call for a recanvass is deemed premature, as the tabulation software is accurate. The process for counting absentee ballots is governed by state law, ensuring no eligible ballots are disallowed.
