Let's try to get out in front of at least one NY Primary conspiracy theory today

From Gothamist:

"Some voters, including myself, are little confused about the ballot, which in the 12th Congressional District says voters can select seven delegates. But there are only six delegates listed as pledged for Bernie Sanders, while seven are listed as pledged for Hillary Clinton. I asked a poll worker if it was necessary to select seven delegates, or if I could just pick six, and she told me, "Oh, it doesn't matter. Some people don't even fill that part out."

From Brennan Center:



"If you read nothing else, know this: the winner of the primary will be determined by the votes in the left column, for the candidates themselves. The column on the right is to help determine which delegates will attend the party convention.

. . .

Within each district, the delegate spots will be allocated proportionally between the candidates. So if six delegates are available in a district, and it turns out that each candidate gets three delegates each, the top three delegates pledged to each candidate would go to the convention. This is what the delegate vote determines — choosing a delegate or delegates pledged to a candidate does not cast a vote for that candidate."
