Eric Adams declared winner of problem-plagued Democratic primary in NYC mayoral race washex.am/3yqWJhV
Look at what some of even the left wing dems say about this race and the failure of confidence in NY's election system.
First, one of the losing candidates (Wiley):

"It would be an understatement to express dismay at the BOE’s administration of this election ... Today we simply must recommit ourselves to a reformed Board of Elections and build new confidence in how we administer voting in New York City," she said.
@AOC, a Democrat representing parts of the Bronx and Queens who supported Wiley's candidacy, stood among a host of other New York Democrats who criticized the election board for its handling of the election following errors in tabulation.
Election-security goals in a nutshell. By @jennycohn1 I would add to this list that we need a law compelling the FBI and DHS to disclose election-system breaches (including where breaches occurred, type of systems, vendors, etc) to the public w/in 10 days unless... 1/ 
.... they persuade a court that such disclosure would impede an ongoing investigation & obtain a protective order on this basis. Any such protective order would have to be renewed every 3 months or it would automatically expire, requiring disclosure. 2/ #ElectionTransparency
Electoral opacity is a recipe for both election fraud AND false claims that election fraud has occurred. Darkness breeds suspicion and conspiratorial thinking. Duh. 3/
Dear Democratic and Republican voters: Let’s all call our elected representatives in the House & Senate to request that they pass a law requiring #RobustManualAudits conducted in public (or public #HandCounting) for all federal races starting 2022. TY. #ElectionTransparency 1/
Congress has power over federal elections. 2/
One thing we CAN agree upon is that we (Democrats and Republicans) don’t trust each other and should not have to at the ballot box. #ElectionTransparency 3/
If HR1 & SR1 fail, @SenateDems & @HouseDemocrats shld try a standalone bill requiring #RobustManualAudits conducted in public (or public #HandCounting) for all federal races starting 2022. This may be the only time that some Rs will feel pressure to pass it. #ElectionTransparency
.@SenateDems & @HouseDemocrats should also try a separate standalone bill that bans paperless (unauditable) voting machines and that gives all in person voters the option to mark their ballots by hand with a pen (rather than a touchscreen). #HandMarkedPaperBallots
I also strongly advise that @SenateDems & @HouseDemocrats try a standalone bill that bans internet connectivity to voting machines. Seriously. Some Rs may agree. If the GOP shoots such a bill down, their own voters may turn on them. Assuming Democrats message the bill clearly.
Thread 1/5 On Friday a judge ruled that the destruction of ballots in @Tim_Canova race was illegal. The judge said that #BrendaSnipes the #BrowardCounty Supervisor of Elections' defenses were “without substance in fact or law." hollerbackfilm.com/blog/canovawin…
2/5 @MarcACaputo @politico is reporting that @FLGovScott says he will have #BrendaSnipes the #BrowardCounty Supervisor of Elections' office monitored. politico.com/states/florida…
3/5 The winning case is built around multiple public records requests that I did & one that @Tim_Canova and I filed together. I wanted to examine #ballots in his race due to statistical irregularities a #data team I led found in the #election results hollerbackfilm.com/blog/wass-can
