49. Well maybe he can explain how this exact disenfranchisment happened to candidate Obama

Anyone remember this?

New York 2008: 80 districts did not record a single vote for Obama, including heavily black districts like Harlem, as well as districts next to others where Obama had very favorable results.

And now in 2016 they target the place where Bernie was born, and places where he had better demographics and favorable results?
NPR has a story up today reporting in Brooklyn that entire city blocks and entire apartment buildings in Brooklyn were purged from the voting rolls for yesterday's election....that's right entire city blocks and entire apartment buildings full of voters in an area where Bernie grew up....what a coincidence, right?

Yet all the Hillary supporters: "This was totally fair guys! Nothing bad happened. Over 300,000 NY Democrats were purged, and the exit poll which has a 1 in 236,000 chance of being that wrong were wrong, but you shouldn't challenge our very democratic party! As an aside the mayor, DeBlasio, the comptroller who is supposedly investigating, Stringer and the head of the board of elections, Ryan are all Hillary supporters.....

am sure that is just a coincidence, right? happened to Obama.....happened to Sanders.....that's just the good old boy democratic party network in action in New York State....at the end of the day all that matters is winning right???????
