The city’s Board of Elections is looking for a company to provide software for the new ranked-choice voting system amid calls from some officials to delay the ballot changeup beyond this year’s crucial mayoral election.
The board issued a request for proposals Nov. 16 to find a firm with the digital know-how to tabulate votes after New Yorkers rank candidates in order of preference on their ballots. Interested companies must respond by Monday.
The deadline comes less than two months before the new system is scheduled to be used in a special election for a Queens City Council seat — and follows widespread criticism of the board’s poor handling of mail-in ballots during the pandemic.
City poll sites use DS 200 ballot scanners operated by Election Systems & Software, which also handles ranked choice voting in Maine and Minneapolis. The Omaha, Neb.-based company is a potential candidate to do the same here, said Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York.
The nonprofit Ranked Choice Voting Resource Center is another strong option, according to Lerner, who is a leading supporter of the new voting system. The North Carolina-based outfit has open-source software that the Board of Elections could likely use at a low cost or even for free, Lerner said.
“There are good possibilities,” she added.

The new ranked-choice voting system is another tactic of the criminal party aka Democrats to allow 2nd place Democrats to win elections. Happens in Maine's 2nd congressional where Republican comes in first but loses because of ranked choice. Welcome to the new world order where every jurisdiction across America will be as corrupt as the Queens Democrat machine.
Want to bet it will be Dominion?
Does anyone else see a disaster in the making? People can't seem to fill out the current ballot properly, now they expect them to fill out a more complex ranked choice voting ballot? Also, have you seen the current city Board of Elections performance lately (some 300, 000 wrong ballots sent to Brooklyn), I'm sure Michael Ryan will screw this up and then blame everyone else like he always does. How does this man keep his job
Dominion comes highly recommended
ESS? hahahaha. very funny.
The BOE was never very good with basic math. It's not that difficult to rank the 'contributions' from the companies.
Non-Profit huh? Zuckerberg just got busted in Georgia for this SCAM!

Michigan electoral worker arrested on 16 counts of election fraud "NO FRAUD HERE MOVE ON" !
Just bring back the old mechanical booths. You had a nice private enclosed area and every thing was lined up in front of you, eye level. Now we bend over a little table and play fill in the dots with a magnifying glass in hand . Also many forget to flip the paper. I don't trust the computers either. They can be tampered with and when computers make mistakes they are big ones.
It almost seems the media is trying to brainwash the public. Every time when speaking about the election they make it a point to say “that even though there has been absolutely no proof of fraud”. I mean no proof of any fraud? Why are they saying it every time?

the media is not trying. they are doing it. will be hard once the military tribunals come into play. plus confiscation for treason. EO was signed in September 2018.
Remember this
Vote fraud - civilian courts - Felony
Vote fraud - military courts - Treason punishable by death.
