"The NYC Board of Elections takes down mayor ranked choice voting results after revealing 'discrepancy'
"...the Board of Elections said in a statement on Twitter that it was aware of "a discrepancy" in the report and was investigating. It later said Tuesday's initial release included test ballots, which caused the discrepancy."

"The vote total just released by the Board of Elections is 100,000-plus more than the total announced on election night, raising serious questions," Adams said in a statement Tuesday following the release of the since-pulled report. "We have asked the Board of Elections to explain such a massive increase and other irregularities before we comment on the Ranked Choice Voting projection."
"Following Adams' comments, the Board of Elections said in a statement on Twitter that it was aware of "a discrepancy" in the report and was investigating. It later said Tuesday's initial release included test ballots, which caused the discrepancy."
It is interesting that some people immediately jumped, saying Adams was playing the trump card when his team initially pointed out the vote discrepancy. However, it seems that Adams was correct.
This was not even comparable to the trump lie, where after multiple recounts and audits, the 2020 election was confirmed to be one of the most secure and accurate elections. What happened in NY was an obvious human error. There was no such error in the 2020 election. In fact one of the best non-analytical arguments against the trump lie were the Congressional seats gained by republicans in 2020.
