940K ballots, 15% exhausted. Wiley's allocation broke around 2/3-1/3 for Garcia-Adams, respectively, leaving Adams ahead by a squeaker. What a shame.
I wonder if this will hold true, but it seems like a significant chunk of Wiley's voters either didnt understand the concept of ranked choice voting, or decided not to put anyone down, which gave Adams the win.

Once Maya Wiley was eliminated, 73,979 of her voters' ballots were exhausted (because they ranked neither Adams nor Garcia).

Adams's margin of victory is 8,426 votes in the current count.

That was about a third of Wiley voters (in the three-way matchup round) who then ended up with exhausted ballots.

The rest broke strongly for Garcia (129,446 to Garcia, and 49,669 to Adams)
