1. Charge her with the crime of disenfranchising voters. And open up a new primary for those voters

Votes to be taken and counted.

[Punkingal]

2. Bernie's hometown. What a coincidence!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. They need to run the primary in Brooklyn again

With the voters who were purged. You can't just leave it the way it is.

3. My thought on this subject is that in the not so recent past the local BOE's would send out an ID ..

..card to the voter. It was paper and fit in a wallet and it contained critical voter information. That practice has stopped. There is zero direct communication between the BOE and voter. This frees the BOE to make changes, purge critical information and control elections. Time to take a step back!

4. Closing the barn door

after the horses are out.

Allowing the action to stand, which is almost assuredly what will happen in the end, makes this investigation moot. Will this individual be punished? Probably - but in the end, the result of their 'error' stands and encourages more 'errors' in the future by others.

The only way to stop people from manipulating the system is to give the disenfranchised voters the ability to actually vote in the flawed election. Simply telling them that it 'won't happen again' is neither redress of their grievance nor a barrier to prevent it from happening again.

5. +1

It would be nice, though, to get to the bottom of what happened, and who was involved.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. They need to run it again

[demwing]

6. Restore the vote, or else! (Or else what?) ~ NSFW

[Jitter65]

7. OK. But there a lot of indifferent Independents out there who think they shouldn't have to follow

rules. And you candidate paid for it.

[reformist2]

9. Can we find out which precincts were affected??? That could be very telling...

[Demsrule86]

14. You do realize how silly you sound?

I am from that area and the election people are the worst...people are always getting knocked off...she has nothing to do with it and totally beat the crap out of She lost more votes than Than Bernie did in Brooklyn...hometown my butt...He hasn't been there in more than 50 years.

17. I engaged it because they're just getting worse as time goes on. nt

19. K&R It's a good OP, deserves attention

And the longer this goes on, the better for Bernie and for progressives. Otherwise, we have trouble being heard.

16. Do you realize how silly YOU sound? The OP corrected the "lazy independent" meme

put forth by the type of people that vote for Hillary and always have to insult everyone else.

As for Bernie's home town, the place where you're born and raised is your home town forever.

If there had been an open Senate seat in some other state in 2000, that would be Hillary's "home state." She's a carpetbagger with no loyalty to anyone or anything but herself. Don't expect her to represent you and yours unless you're very, very wealthy or in other ways useful to her.

20. It's the stench of corruption that surrounds the Clintons...

[MadBadger]

26. Any kind of proof McCarthy?

They were her voters too. Good Lord...

[NorthCarolina]

22. Was she simply an overzealous Clinton supporter or was there collusion with the Clinton campaign? nt

[Uncle Joe]

23. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, cyberpj.

27. It's a longtime GOP tactic to purge voter rolls - This is not a Dem on Dem crime

the way some are claiming.

This purge was all about the general election to hurt the Dem nominee in NY, and it probably happened all over the state with little notice - like Florida in 2000. I'd say cronies of Rudy Guiliani.
