or register as a Democrat.

Cool enough to take selfies at yuuge rallies though.

a couple of tables over saying "ooh, look at my Bernie selfie" from a rally that afternoon.

Apparently I made a face.

and none of the 20 somethings were eligible to vote in the primary.

Internet cred with some cool Facebook pictures.

Priorities, dude.

Did a new iPhone come out today?

I know the upstate Satmar are Democrats, but the ultra-Orthodox tend to be R-leaning in the city, moreso than Reform or Conservative.

I hope

trying to make matzo on the evening news.

Yes, fully aware.

Because if they are R they are not showing to vote period

are the most overrepresented people in either party at the national conventions.

And I thought our voting rates were embarrassing

a reporter at CNN was reporting from Borough Hall (somewhat south of Williamsburg, closer to the Brooklyn Bridge) and just said that, so far, the number of Republicans voting today at that precinct was 100-and-something... number of dems was 1800+.

who knows since the politics there are ... not my cup of tea

Represented by Steve Levin (Carl Levin's nephew) who I'd guess is reform Jewish.

For the purpose of the Presidential Primary, they're in the 7th-CD: Nydia Velasquez.

Make sure there are no bread crumbs anywhere, clean the house, replace every day dishes with Passover ones and cook, cook, cook.

that begins on Friday sundown and ends Saturday sundown. The "safe place" is to move during the Sabbath, carry items without violation the commandment of not working on the Sabbath.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eruv

is a ritual enclosure that some Jewish communities, and especially Orthodox Jewish communities, construct in their neighborhoods as a way to permit Jewish residents or visitors to carry certain objects outside their own homes on Sabbath and Yom Kippur. An eruv accomplishes this by integrating a number of private and public properties into one larger private domain, thereby avoiding restrictions on carrying objects from the private to the public domain on Sabbath and holidays.

The eruv allows these religious Jews to, among other things, carry house keys, tissues, medicines, or babies with them, and use strollers and canes. The presence or absence of an eruv thus especially affects the lives of people with limited mobility and those responsible for taking care of babies and young children.

Hey no one ever says that rituals, of all types, have reason or logic..

Always shenanigans

ETA: it's a movie quote, jury. Just an FYI.

At least they allowed people to vote there on time.

fuck them.

for the impaired.

A bunch of Hillary supporters laughing about excluding people who would have been new voters.

Don't whine about millennials if Hillary gets the nomination and loses the general. This attitude you're displaying here has been showing up all too often with the Hillary crowd.

If he wins the nomination and loses the general because many of his young supporters won't bother to vote in November.

Actually it is worse. 30% of the Sanderistas said they will not vote for Hillary, but only 15% of Hillary supporters say they won't vote for Sanders.

Maybe they'll vote for someone more aligned with them then?

Your Party is full of them.

of registering before November's election. It is a well known fact that 20 somethings often find other things to do rather than do the unsexy thing of getting in a line and casting a ballot, or worse, bothering to register to vote. I assume that civics classes don't teach about voting anymore. Of course, poli sci is really boring too.

You seem to have been able to handle the hard work of registering and voting. But they are known to care not as much and I don't think that civics teaches voting responsibilities anymore. And I realize you are being nasty to me, but that's on you, not me.

You unambiguously implied that millennials are lazy and poorly educated in your previous post.

Spare me the word parsing and martyr act, if you don't mind.

Hillary, for when you want them to eat cake.

Benchmark Politics ?@benchmarkpol 14m14 minutes ago
@MATTCORREIA88 Buddy lives in the area, and I found other reports on twitter/reddit saying the same thing. 0 high turnout reports too.

used to be

every block has new apartment complexes building up, that rivals the most expensive parts of NYC

Hipsters are more into Bushwick these days

this is what is has come to!

What nerve trying to take part in the political process that their dollars in taxes pay for

allow a true "open primary" which means it is not happening today. There seems to be total ignorance of the fact that there is a process they could have been participating in all along. I'd like the people incorrectly taken off the rolls to be able to vote- but also hope they realize the way to preserve their right is to show up for the smaller elections. And to lobby for the needed changes.


This was a last minute attempt to de-legitimize an election because they knew it was lost. It's bullshit, and I am glad the judge is not having it.

No not going to wash you want my tax money to pay for it you have to open it to everyone

but it is how GDP rolls these days. I am floored that people would think it is cool to open only the Dme primary to anyone- including Republicans, at the last minute. Nope.

I guess there's a difference between cheering at a rally with you bros and picking up a pen to vote.

...I wish everyone would vote (Democratic, of course)! They are saying high turnout on TV. But they always say that and it turns out to be Republicans. Still, they did say high turnout in Harlem, which I think must lean Democratic

Flushing, Astoria, Jackson Heights etc.

Demographics vary greatly by location

is in the Williamsburg section or not.

What year are you in?

Great election fraud brockbro! Bush would be proud of his adopted sister!

Is that the same Williamsburg that has had reports of polling station problems?

By the time we arrived just after 12:30 pm, the community center section of the NYCHA public housing complex was buzzing with voters, most of them elderly and many of them Spanish-speaking. Hines, who sat behind a table where she was helping check voters in and verify their registration, informed us that the late opening, “Wasn’t nobody’s fault here.”

According to the site coordinator, Dwain Woods, when the volunteers arrived at 5 am this morning, they found that the site was locked. “Housing didn’t open the building,” he said, referring to NYCHA. According to Woods, someone finally showed up with a key and volunteers were eventually able to open up the polls by 7:30 am. When asked if the experience was frustrating he said, “Yes, but now it’s smooth.”

Unfortunately what might seem like a small snag could have potentially put out dozens or more voters. And across the city, there have been a number of problems. There’s the potentially confusing ballot design thanks to “antiquated New York law,” and the issue of broke-ass machines. Ugh. On top of that, New York has some of the most restrictive voting laws in the country (including no Election-Day registration), potentially disenfranchising a huge number of otherwise totally eligible voters for really no good reason at all.
