Congrats New York, #1 in Corruption! It's electoral oversight ranked 49th by

And I'm referring to the shit pouring out of clinton supporters after her win last night. It's kind of amazing what poor winners clinton supporters seem to be. Like they're more interested in Bernie losing than they are in Hillary winning.

We had a nice conversation while waiting to sign in. When he got there, magically, his name did not appear on the registration sheet.

How many times did this happen and at how many polling places?

Scott Stringer, a Clinton delegate, vows to launch an investigation.
