'It's a total mess but more accurate than my election':
• https://www.dailymail.co.uk By KEITH GRIFFITHTrump issued statements on Wednesday gloating over election chaos in NYC
Election officials admitted 135,000 test ballots were mistakenly counted
It came in the 11th round of ranked-choice voting as Eric Adams' lead shrank
Adams led Kathryn Garcia 51.1% to 48.9% in the latest round of complex tallies
Trump claimed the chaos bolstered his claims of fraud in presidential election
'The New York City Election, even though an embarrassment and total mess, is far better and more accurate than my 2020 Presidential Election,' he said
Adams also questioned 'irregularities' in the initial ranked choice voting results
His complaint of thousands of added votes appears to have sparked the review
Tuesday's results led to elimination of AOC-backed liberal candidate Maya Wiley
It is unclear if the 135,000 erroneous votes will affect Wiley's candidacy
Most are said to have gone to candidates who have since been knocked out
Adams also received a substantial number of the test votes
