Green’s Victory Margin Shrinks in Mayoral Race
Mark Green’s victory margin over Fernando Ferrer in New York’s Democratic mayoral runoff shrank as an audit of unofficial returns showed thousands of votes were mistakenly entered more than once. An election official said the outcome was unlikely to change.
Associated Press found significant duplication of vote reporting by police officers who tally the unofficial returns.
Revised results showed 395,053 votes for Green and 370,454 for Ferrer, a margin of about 24,600 votes. The official tally from the Board of Elections is due Oct. 23.
