Probably. Bernie lost New York by less than 300,000 votes. There were 121,000 voters purged from Democratic rolls in Brooklyn alone, Bernie's birthplace.

It seems farfetched that all 121,000 would've went to Sanders and 300 less 121 is still a win for Clinton.

One article says that 70,000 were purged because of inactivity in previous elections.

In other poll news, Hillary has faded into a three point poll lead in the most recent Missouri poll. She was behind.

Funny how that "fade" has worked out.

Think about it. Use Occam's Razor.

Power.

It depends on how those 121,000 voters were selected. There are algorithms that can accurately identify likely Sanders voters or select for any other criteria you wish. Plus your math suggests that Brooklyn was the only place where problems occurred. Got any evidence for that?

Let's wait to see what the AG finds. I just hope he releases his findings after the election.

That's what they call voter caging, Robbin, and it's illegal. How many previous elections? One? Ten? And did they send out letters to those people notifying them that they were about to be purged?

“We send you a notice in the mail saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to cancel your voter registration if you don’t respond back to us,” Ryan told NY1 this week. “Only those individuals who did not respond back to our intent to cancel notice were ultimately archived.”

About 12,000 had moved out of the borough, another 44,000 people were moved from active to inactive voters and an additional 70,000 people were taken off the inactive voter list, the board said.

However, it has been challenged in the courts and due to its perceived racial bias, has been declared illegal under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Voter caging typically refers to the practice of sending mail to addresses on the voter rolls, compiling a list of the mail that is returned undelivered, and using that list to purge or challenge voters’ registrations and votes on the grounds that the voters on the roll do not legally reside at their registered addresses.[2]

Even if what you say is true John you would have to tie it directly to Hillary.

Did she order this?

But the suspicion is there on the Democratic Party, gives Trump talking points and he will exploit it.
