New York Mayor’s Race in Chaos , After 135,000 Test Ballots Are Counted.<br />On June 29, the New York City Board of Elections released a new tally of votes in <br />the Democratic mayoral primary.<br />'The New York Times' reports that the initial results had suggested that the mayoral race had tightened significantly.<br />However, just a few hours later, the elections board issued a cryptic tweet revealing a “discrepancy” in the report. .<br />By that evening, the report had been taken down and replaced by a new notice that the results would not be available until June 30.<br />According to the 'NYT,' the board explained in a statement that it had failed to remove sample ballot images used to test its new voting software. .<br />The board counted “both test and election <br />night results, producing approximately <br />135,000 additional records,” the statement said. .<br />There is real danger that <br />voters will come to believe <br />a set of facts about the race <br />that will be disproven <br />when all votes are in, Ben Greenfield, senior survey data analyst at Change Research, via 'The New York Times'
