The important ting here is they found the error and are correcting it. This was a new style of election so it’s not surprising that there was a mistake. No conspiracy here.
Evidently, according to the NYT, this is one of the last vestiges of the ancient Tammany Hall days of the corruption from the turn of the 20th century. So, it’s no surprise they screwed up as most don’t do their jobs. Plus, you have to wonder if they didn’t botch this on purpose because ranked-choice voting is a threat to the two-party system because any 3rd party vote isn’t wasted. It doesn’t take nearly this long in the other cities that do this. Maine has been doing it for years without it taking this long either.
Oh, for Gawd’s sake! Someone made a mistake. They caught and fixed it. People make mistakes. Mistakes aren’t necessarily fraud or deceit. It IS unfortunate that this mistake gives the Trumplodytes ammo.

I guess ranked choice voting has a few glitches that need fixing.

NY BOE screwed up. Meanwhile the ranked choice voting system worked in the end.

Naw, look at the Red states wherein they could teach New York a thing or two and dance with the devil who bought them votes..

Election engineering doesn’t work as well with RCV/STV voting and errors [like this] are easy to see.

New York has achieved something I thought impossible: it gave me something to feel less terrible about living in Illinois.
