but a few won't.

How it was done-

By whom-

How it can and will be replicated in November-

How to prevent that -no matter who the candidate is-

to prove to anyone who thinks about performing such acts, that it will benefit them none. And to indict them and anyone involved for illegal activities.

I really used to enjoy your delightful GIF of the woman from TYT. What's her name? Sorry you got rid of it...

Only 500 or so calls to the AG office. There should be an absolute uprising from Brooklyn. That in itself seems weird. Maybe we'll hear more about it on msm news?

Turnout was extremely low in my precinct, which is known for its political activism. There were about 300 Democratic voters in an area that saw excited voters wrapped around the block to vote for Obama in a past election. The count was roughly 60-40 for Clinton-Sanders. Nobody was handing out palm cards or information for any candidate.

I experienced no problems but have been voting Democratic for years. We voted on paper affidavits for this primary. The delegate portion was a bit confusing because the type was small. The text said, "Vote for any seven." Sanders had six pledged delegates and Clinton had seven.

In past years, there was one time when my name disappeared from the rolls for one election. I was extremely annoyed and felt disenfranchised. They did give me a provisional ballot. My point is that the system is imperfect and when it's your name that's left out it feels horrible.

As the Mayor noted, Brooklyn can be a transient place, as it is the area where many young professionals get their first apartments and/or start their families. However, to have 120,000 disappear from the rolls probably means there was either one heck of a glitch or an overly overdue updating of the voter rolls. I am glad that an investigation is underway. Personally, I have seen nothing but enthusiasm and respect for Sanders, even from Clinton voters. It will take a lot of solid evidence to convince me that there was a deliberate purge aimed at suppressing the vote.

There absolutely needs to be an investigation. I put nothing past these republican slimeballs. They will do anything to win an election.

I hope these voters start a substantial riot. This is election stealing on a grand scale. I called the DNC office and the comment line was busy but I sent them a scathing email. This is the nice face pulled off and revealing the evil underneath. Truly a watershed event for our country.

in his old apartment building, among many others, don't feel any deep connection with the man who chose to leave NY state 50 years ago for college in Chicago and a lifetime of politics in Vermont.

P.S. She won 60% of the vote or more in ALL of the NYC boroughs, including Brooklyn.

their supporters who were disenfranchised. Odds are this had every bit as much of a chance to impact Hillary just as much, and since it's purging of registered Democrats and not this new band of fair weather, I'm registering out of convenience Democrats, it likely impacted Hillary even more.

it probably impacted Hillary more because Brooklyn was an area where she did well.

Having left Brooklyn more than 50 years earlier to attend college in Chicago, Bernie didn't have much of a connection down there.

Look at the NY Times map:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/04/19/us/elections/new-york-city-democratic-primary-results.html#11/40.7100/-73.9800

The neighborhoods that trended towards Sanders were mostly places where younger white persons settle. The rents are more reasonable there. The areas with a high concentration of African Americans and/or high incomes went for Clinton. A large swath of Brooklyn is naturally Clintonian.

No, of course don't, newbie. Every single country in NYC went for Hillary - every single one. Chances are much better Hillary voters got screwed. Bernie did ok (broke even) upstate. Try another moronic charge.

as Rick Scott in Florida.

office in NY, how does that "pattern" work? I swear I've never seen a bigger bunch of pathetic sore losers. Even if Bernie had gotten every single of those 126,000 votes (laughable in a borough that Hillary won by a lot), he still would have lost by double digits. Suck it up.

The names I've been called by the Bernie supporters would curl your toes if you think what I posted was bad. So not just sore losers, prima donna sore losers. Pathetic.

I don't know you personally but you do seem to have an anger issue. Mint tea and a nice chat with a friend does wonders.

is what you call anger. That's not my problem. Would YOU think they were justified? From what I'm reading, probably. Still not my problem. Delusional thinking seems to be pretty common among the math challenged Bernie supporters.

but I know it's more than 200 less than Bernie does.

Had the tables been turned, would you want Hillary to continue on or quit for the sake of the party? This would be like the situation in 2008 when Hillary took it all the way to the convention. If Hillary is destined to win it all, then what are you worried about?

Drama queen is a misogynist and sexist term. I would expect Hillary supporters to use the term.

I use that term for men and women who deserve it. You can feel offended at anything you like. I'm under no obligation to cater to your taboos.

All your opposition to Trump is then invalid. Your candidate is owned by Wall Street and war industry and her wars have caused genocides.

When did donnie ever even use that term? Your hyperbole and opinion on my vote means nothing to me.

In general, Bernie voters are highly intelligent while Hillary voters are low information and clueless that she is a neocon and Wall Street supporter and a very close friend and partner of the Bush family. These things matter to Bernie voters while Hillary voters mindlessly support her and are unable to even explain why they support her because they have been swayed by New York Times and CNN.

Look, newbie. I'm going to give you the respect of a response even though you've basically called me ignorant (low information) and stupid (clueless). Your labels for her have been tossed around with such abandon, I simply yawn at them. I've been fighting for liberal causes probably since you've been in diapers. I long ago realized there are no perfect candidates and certainly not someone who decided to become a Democrat and use MY party for his own ends. I'm voting for Hillary because she's a fighter and has been fighting for causes I believe in and has been fighting them for decades. Do I agree with her on everything? Of course not. But I don't agree with Bernie on everything either so I have to make a choice in the primary (which I did on Tuesday). Your insults make me do nothing but roll my eyes and laugh. I couldn't possibly care less what an anonymous poster on the internet has to say about my vote. But keep insulting us - that's bound to bring me over to your side....in a galaxy far, far from here.

You probably mean Bill Clinton and not Hillary Clinton as the smart one. Hillary is no fighter. She was a Goldwater Republican. She also actually believed that a youtube video caused the Benghazi episode. It is clear that she was not in control of the situation and was fed some talking points which she completely believed. Let us be honest. Hillary would not be where she is if her husband had not been President. In this sense, she is similar to the women from Third World countries who only led their countries because their husbands were once the leaders.

Hillary stands for Wall Street, wars and is a partner of the Bush family. These are facts. She fights for them, not us.

easily. Your talking points about that video regarding Benghazi tells everyone what they need to know about you - right from the fevered swamps of freeperland. Go bother someone else - you aren't worthy of my time.

I googled for the word freeperland. What does it mean? The first website says no definition found and then gives the following sentence as an example, "The aggression of these Hillary-posers is much more common in Freeperland, and it's what gives them away." Doesn't seem to match up because you used it as an accusation against Bernie supporters.

Honestly, I have no idea what the word means. Care to elucidate? Who coined it and why?

actually had the power to outrage me....but you don't.

trouble? Or are you just clueless?

how about first proving it was a deliberate purge ordered by Hillary.

Good observations, and welcome to DU.

BTW, there is an "ignore" feature available. Feel free to use it "liberally".

oh wait..

Wow. That's subtle.

Here's the way it can be spun:

Wow, voter purge in Sanders home town, he must have done it!
Wow, voter purge in Sanders home town, obviously Clinton wanted to stop his voters.
Wow, voter purge in the home of Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters, she must have done it!
Wow, voter purge in the home of Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters, obviously Sanders wanted to stop her voters.

All of them will get traction here on DU, so please be clear on which conspiracy you subscribe to.

gee whiz.....

I don't care who you are an actual supporter of, that's downright funny.

Love it

He knows which way the wind is blowing.

First thing I thought too. He supports HRC.

They sure as hell won't do anything about this.

even and move on!

No rewards for cheating, no calls for reform NEXT time. FIX THIS SITUATION NOW, AND LET IT BE KNOWN, FAILING ELECTIONS WILL BE TOSSED. NY DESERVES THIS. AND AGAIN, NOT A FECKING PEEP FROM HILLARY! BROOKLYN, WHERE SHE PLANTED HER CAMPAIGN HQ! REALLY HILLARY?????? NOT A PEEP, ANOTHER STATE WROUGHT WITH FRAUD? I HOPE SANDERS SUES!

Hillary won every single county in NYC - every one of them. Bernie did better upstate so chances are, Hillary voters were the ones who got screwed. Gonna have to pick another conspiracy theory to froth at the mouth about.

"So why are you so supportive of it?"
Observation of a righteous frothing is hardly indicative of support for voters getting screwed.

Seems the bias of the primary season has prevented many otherwise intelligent people from thinking rationally when it better suits these fictional and imaginary preconceptions allowing us to feel oh so much more clever about our choices.

1: See voters getting screwed.
2: See people upset with voters getting screwed.
3: Tell those people to shut the fuck up things are fine.

The response to the situation demonstrates support for that situation.

But it always DOES happen again!! The only way to stop it is to STOP IT NOW!

Aw, just let Hillary win, and we'll make sure his doesn't happen again. FUCK THAT SHIT! I want the FBI on the scene to determine WHO did the purge, and based on what criteria did they purge current registered voters! What about the people who's registrations were changed from Democrat to Independent? FIND OUT HOW THIS HAPPENED and WHO is responsible!!!

Otherwise there is going to be hell to pay in November.

Voter purge in Sanders home town, he must have done it!
Voter purge in Sanders home town, obviously Clinton wanted to stop his voters.
Voter purge in the home of Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters, she must have done it!
Voter purge in the home of Hillary Clinton’s campaign headquarters, obviously Sanders wanted to stop her voters.

Bye!

all the time.

Good luck with President Trump!

"it in the dark reaches of my ignore list."

I used to ignore people who merely disagreed with me too-- it was a fine example of my biases and an irrational lack of critical thought. Though no doubt, you'll allege a most righteous justification.

Wow! How many states passed rotten voter ID laws claiming it helped stopped fraud where was no fraud? They should have saved their time and money and just purged their rolls.

Must be investigated .

The suppressed vote will remain suppressed.

and what it is we're not really sure.
There's a man with a gun over there, telling us to beware

Bernie going negative is what did him in in NY. Not a word about voter suppression. Its amazing how the Clinton camp seems to be ok with this. It's not just suppression either. There were other things in play also. After seeing exit polling I'll never believe those totals.

I'll never hand my vote over to someone who has to cheat to win or a candidate who is actively under an FBI investigation.

for the last few months. Sanders has come up some but it was mostly lots of media hype that he had a chance of winning NY. Just because people repeat something often enough doesn't make it true. Hillary is also calling, very loudly, for an investigation. I suspect it was her voters who got purged. So lets all settle down and find out what happened so it doesn't happen again.

I've been pretty shocked at just how negative Bernie has gone. I love him and one of the things I liked about him the best was his refusal to get mean and nasty. I'm not feeling the Bern quite so much myself.

I don't even care about evidence at this point - I just want to know what that Ogre Bernie did that is so unspeakable that no one will tell me.

watching him? He's been super accusatory and aggressive and dismissive and just plain nasty. I still like him but now that he's rolling around in the mud, I just don't like him nearly as much.

say about opinions. LOL.

I'm very curious, I perplexed too.

frowns and seems angry and kinda mean. Not the Bernie I've always loved.

Clinton machine tentacles. This is my opinion, and I believe it will be proven correct.
