of votes in the Democratic primary for mayor that appeared to show a near-dead heat during an automatic runoff—before the count was revealed as a fiasco.

It’s hard to speculate, but what it suggests to me is that they hadn’t done a really thorough dry run of the system before they put it online. Even if they had done that, I might expect some kinds of problems, because if you test the system with 10,000 voters and then you scale it up, suddenly there are changes and new kinds of bugs that show up, but this seems like the kind of bug you could’ve caught with a 10,000-vote test.
