2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMapping out the purge.
As you can see most of the problems happened in African American neighborhoods and Hispanic neighborhoods. As you can see Clinton areas had more issues than Sanders areas which matches what was actually reported on the ground.

(594 posts)This isn't about partisan politics, all Democrats should be deeply concerned that anyone was purged from the system and not allowed to vote.

(50,957 posts)Unlike others who have simply complained, he has actually sought the relevant information, and has been keeping us apprised of new information as it comes out.
I think if you had been paying attention you would realize he was concerned from the beginning.

(28,341 posts)But this delusional fantasy some have that somehow every vote that was disenfranchised belonged to Sanders is child-like and not supported by evidence. That is what is being addressed here I believe.

(28,581 posts)It has to stop. Our votes need to be counted correctly. The public must have confidence in that,
When I see people brushing this off as no big deal it drives me nuts.

(39,451 posts)a Clinton neighborhood or a Sanders neighborhood?
If 139K voters were purged in Brooklyn, for example, you do not know if that is a Bernie neighborhood or Hillary neighborhood if not everyone who was registered was able to vote.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)Almost all of the dark purple on that map are neighborhoods with large amounts of people of color. They voted heavily for Clinton in NY.
If you look at the map you can click on the neighborhood and it gives you the numbers of that area.
Just looking at that map tells me this was not a plot against Sanders. I think it was on purpose but I think it was not only about the presidential race.

(26,795 posts)The dark purple on the purge map (heavily purged) corresponds with the green on the vote map (Sanders) when you look at the patterns in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg/etc portion, vs. over in Brooklyn hts.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)Hasidic vote.
Wilms
(26,795 posts)And as pointed out above the two shadings tell only so much. Precinct level analysis might show something.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)Brooklyn those are heavy African American neighborhoods.
The point I am trying to make is the map shows it is was not a plot against Sanders.
Wilms
(26,795 posts)Without it, and possibly some greater insight into what was going on at the BoE, it's conjecture.
Fumesucker
(45,851 posts)This sort of thing shouldn't be happening in any neighborhood.

(8,168 posts)I had heard that those particular neighborhoods had been targeted, thanks for showing breakdown verifying what I had heard.

(39,961 posts)their votes should count!
If you want to vote for the devil himself, it should be tallied.
We can't afford this in November.

(319 posts)What better to keep your stats consistent - deny the voters that throw your demographics off.

Don't get me wrong this was done on purpose and people need to go to jail but this was not a plot against Sanders.
