NY-08: Chi Oss says he backed Bernie Sanders in 2016, but records show he didn't vote
Chi Ossé, one of the City Council’s most progressive members, has spoken in recent years about how voting for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential primary was a formative experience for him politically.
But there’s a catch: Ossé didn’t back Sanders at the ballot box in 2016 because he wasn’t registered to vote at the time, according to records unearthed by the Daily News......
“My DSA questionnaire states I supported Bernie in 2016 and 2020, which is true,” Ossé wrote, bolding the word.
On other occasions, though, Ossé has indicated he voted for Sanders in the 2016 election.
