b_m_b_m_b_m Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Wasserman has his own problems but they're minor (and I don't even remember what mildly perturbed me what he said it was so minor and long ago) and not worth getting upset about. Adams actually had a good quote on twitter not being real life: people on social media don't elect candidates, people on social security do.

Anathema- Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Yang's mayoral bid is definitely another case of our national media being based in New York huffing their own farts only this time the buffoon couldn't really spin the racism dial far enough to get elected.

CayceG Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Ratios on twitter are essentially, if a tweet has WAY more retweets, quote tweets, or comments than it does likes, it means it has generated discussion. And that likely means the original tweet was bad enough to where all the discussion is stuff like "bro this is insane" or "you should never have tweeted this."

Guest Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Would be cool if they could get all the votes in on Election Day and then input and tabulate results in a reasonable time frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Quote While Garcia trails by less than four percentage points, the results released on Tuesday do not include absentee ballots. The New York City Board of Elections requires absentee ballots to be postmarked by June 22. Tuesday marked the final day for absentee ballots to be accepted by the board of elections. How can they go through all the rounds of eliminating candidates via the ranked choice process if no absentee ballots are in yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answers on reddit are saying that the eliminations are all preliminary numbers based on if they had all the ballots in and that they'll need to go through the entire vote-transferring process again once the absentee ballots come in.
