Does anyone here care about the alleged voter suppression in NY?

Not coming close to Arizona's batched primary, but 120,000 democratic voters purged, party affiliations changed without notice, etc.....Is this a Bernie supporter issue, in that it only becomes a topic when he doesn't win a primary? I'm concerned that many people here don't take the idea that voter suppression happened and is a blight against our democratic values, all citizens, democrats included, should widen their perspective and look at this more clearly.

I do. More voters in NY would have been more votes for Hillary. nt onehandle May 2016 #1

...shouldn't we actually care about the investigation? We know at least some people voices were intentionally silenced by Republicans. I'm as glad Hillary won there as you are but that doesn't mean that the suspicious activity is cool.

WA (3 of 4 steps) said something about voter suppression and started listing states, I added NY to the list. My area of the bench thought it was pretty funny, except for the h supporter sitting next to me.

The Party only cares about it when it makes the party look better than the other party.

Both parties look pretty bad on this.
