1. 700 complaints in a voter turnout of millions?

[kracer20]

6. I guess I'd look at it as a 275% Increase

And this 275% increase is in a primary that is only partially over.

The 150 complaints were in the general election, where there are no doubt many many more voters.

[Squinch]

2. So they either didn't register, or they registered as Independents and they are

demanding that all the rules be changed for their convenience.

The reason for the increase in numbers (to 562, which in NY is a statistical non-existence) is because media like TYT has encouraged all the special little snowflakes to demand that special provisions be made for them.

[Gomez163]

3. Imagine complaining when you didnt even freaking register.

[stopbush]

4. Yep. They're lying. Plain and simple.

[savalez]

7. We now know who the "low information voters" are.

[LiberalFighter]

9. What they need to do now is identify the reason for each person.

And come back with a true account. Betcha the numbers will drop significantly.


They really need to do a report and make it public. That way it will be on the record and show that most complaints were not valid. And focus on the valid complaints to get the issue fixed.

16. Could be seeing this on both sides, both Bernie and FrankenTrump voters.

5. Inactive voters who show up once every four years and probably

only for the GE forgot what party they are with, if any. Boo hoo hoo

[fleabiscuit]

8. One can check online to find out if they are registered. eom

[Laurian]

10. Because the Sanders folks are good at complaining and

have been encouraged to disrupt?

[Tarheel_Dem]

11. This reminds me of an episode of "All In the Family", when Archie learns his registration expired.

If you only participate every 20 years or so, then you are a disengaged low information voter, and should be treated as such.

[Gomez163]

12. Yet they show up at the "MASSIVE RALLIES!!!!!!!"

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. Right? But they can't find their way to their local BOE website? I ain't buying it. This is a....

cynical & pre-emptive ploy to invalidate today's results, should they be on the losing end. A "revolution" requires a little more smarts.

[Squinch]

18. And a lot more people who give a shit about it.

[bluestateguy]

15. Archie loved "Richard E. Nixon"

but didn't bother to vote for him in 1968 and 1972. The episode of which you speak said that he voted in 1960 (for Nixon I assume).

Another episode revealed that he wrote in "Ronny Reegan" in 1976, rather than vote for Gerald Ford.

Edith said she voted for Carter in 1976.

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. It was an outstanding episode, and emblematic of what appears to be happening today. Cha posted...

a tweet from someone who asked...."and we're supposed to be the low information voters"? How appropriate.

[SharonClark]

14. Interesting numbers - thanks for posting

[Rose Siding]

17. That whole party thing...

[Squinch]

19. This should be EVERYWHERE!!

[NastyRiffraff]

20. Election laws are for suckers!

And researching voting requirements is soooooo boring!

What a bunch of crybabies. No, I take that back...I like babies. These are spoiled brats who never grew up.

[Walk away]

22. I have always thought that there should only be one criteria for an American to vote.

They should be smart enough to get registered correctly and then vote. Why is it that so many Sanders supporters cannot get it together????
