At night’s end, the restaurant determines its favored dish based on what was picked. That, in a nutshell, is how ranked-choice voting works.\n\nSo who wouldn’t fill up their tray? New York City voters, that’s who. In 2021, one of every eight voters selected only one candidate. Half of those people listed Eric Adams.\n\nBack to the barbecue pit. Many voters walked away with only one thing in their tray. And for those who chose Adams, a sort-of-vegetarian, you didn’t even get brisket.",
