NYC Mayor’s Race: Can Working Families Party’s strategy to beat Cuomo, Adams with lefty ranked-choice slate work?

But can the party’s strategy, which seeks to take advantage of the city’s ranked-choice voting system, actually work in stopping the former governor and current mayor from winning the June 24 Democratic primary?
