“Again, the fundamental structural weakness of the electoral council is displayed,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio in Wednesday’s statement.
De Blasio called for “Complete Structural Development” from the Board, which operates independently from his office.

New York City adopted selection of voter ratings for primary selection and special elections in the 2019 referendum and using the system in the city race for the first time on June 22.
Under the system, voters can rank up to five candidates in the order of preferences.
Because no candidate is the first choice of more than 50% of voters, computers on Tuesday are tabulated by ballots in a series of rounds that work like instant run-off.
In each round, the candidate in the last place is removed.
The voice was thrown for that person and then distributed back to the still alive candidate, based on anyone the pickers were put down on their ranking list.
The process repeatedly until only two candidates left.
The ranked system version has been used in US cities including San Francisco and Minneapolis for years and at airports throughout the state in Maine.
Susan Lerner, General Executive Director of New York, who promotes the adoption of the ranking selection system, is recorded in a statement that the difference between Tuesday is caused by human mistakes, not damage attached to the selection of the ranking itself.
“We are not at all happy that it happened, but it was a mistake that the BOE moved to improve,” said Lerner.
The winner of the democratic primary will be a favorite of the barrier in the general election against Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Republic of The Guardian Angels.
