DDS said:I'm not opposed to closed primaries like NY has, but having the voter registration deadline in October was totally crazy. I don't think it needs to be any more than a month away from the contest.
No less a personage than the NYC Comptroller, whose job it is to crunch numbers when something looks fishy, has called into question, by implication, the New York primary results. Comptroller Scott Stringer has "confirmed" that "more than 125,000 voters in Brooklyn were removed from voter rolls." Brooklyn is one of five NY Boroughs. Multiply that by five and you get 625,000 voters. And that's just the city. 1.7 million voters officially turned out for the NY Democratic primary. It takes no genius to see that's a game changer, and a big one.
Comptroller Stringer said in a scathing press release:
“There is nothing more sacred in our nation than the right to vote, yet election after election, reports come in of people who were inexplicably purged from the polls, told to vote at the wrong location or unable to get in to their polling site,” Comptroller Stringer said. “The people of New York City have lost confidence that the Board of Elections..."Stringer is a Hillary superdelegate. And even he says it stinks. You can't get politically covered any better than that.
Cruz and Kasich have teamed up to stop Trump. Kasich has conceded Indiana to Cruz while he has done the same for Kasich in Oregon and New Mexico.
It almost makes no sense why they decided to break the states up like that, besides either one or both underperforming in states that should essentially be their backyards. You'd think Cruz would be performing better in NM since he's from TX and likewise for Kasich in IN considering he's from OH.Cruz and Kasich have teamed up to stop Trump. Kasich has conceded Indiana to Cruz while he has done the same for Kasich in Oregon and New Mexico.

I'm not sure I'm seeing how well the Cruz/Kasich plan is going to work since it only concerns ad spending and holding rallies in each state and not about coordinating who to actually vote for. They seem to think that the votes will go to the one actually placing ads in the state versus the one who isn't. As evidence, Kasich told a dinner in Philadelphia that people should still vote for him if they support him, even if he doesn't intend to visit.

Why those states? Seems an odd combination.
I still plan on voting for Kasich here in Indiana. Can't bring myself to vote for Cruz.
I hope Kasich and Cruz realize, even if they do stop Trump from getting the delegates he needs, neither of them will get the nomination....It'll be someone already in bed with the Republican elite...
Only Republicans suppress voters. Did you get the memo?Nobody's talking about this?

(New York, NY) With the New York City Board of Elections confirming that more than 125,000 voters in Brooklyn were removed from voter rolls and widespread reports of voters having trouble accessing polling sites and other polling irregularities, New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer announced today that his office would undertake an audit of the operations and management of the Board of Elections. There is nothing more sacred in our nation than the right to vote, yet election after election, reports come in of people who were inexplicably purged from the polls, told to vote at the wrong location or unable to get in to their polling site, Comptroller Stringer said. The people of New York City have lost confidence that the Board of Elections can effectively administer elections and we intend to find out why the BOE is so consistently disorganized, chaotic and inefficient. With four elections in New York City in 2016 alone, we dont have a moment to spare.

At IN's largest early voting site today, I found more Kasich voters who flipped to Trump...than Cruz.

Kasich canvasser in his hometown tells me Cruz/Kasich should have kept deal quiet; he's meeting voters who switched to Trump bc of it
As it should, you don't advertise that type of thing....that was just stupid on their part.
They actually really aren't. Besides a few minor differences in their platforms, the biggest differences are in experience, temperament and branding.Yep, this deal should never have been made public. But I can't understand how anyone who was a backer of Kasich could turn around and back Trump. They're complete opposite ends of the Republican spectrum...

First of all, the New York City Board of Elections has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. This is their fault. Their mistakes are their own. Not Hillary's.
Secondly Stinger doesnt say anything about Hillary being the reason for this.
This is a Board of Elections **** up due to poor management. Not something a candidate did themself.
I was told once that I had to vote at the wrong place and Im pretty sure Hillary ****ing Clinton wasnt behind it. Nor was any other candidate. It was just a local ****up. Come on, people, use some common sense. State election boards and election management in general is always piss poor. There will always always always be errors and screw ups at the polls. The running and management of election boards and most polls is generally haphazard. Its not a conspiracy. Its just poor management.
There is a big difference between polling place issues and Board of Elections screwups at a local level and the GOP forcing through restrictive legislation that makes it harder for minorities nationwide to vote.
