Nearly 40,000 Provisional Ballots Will Be Counted in New York

http://www.inquisitr.com/3038371/nearly-40000-provisional-ballots-in-brooklyn-will-be-counted-new-york-lawsuit-continues-to-press-for-more/

A week after a scandalous Democratic primary election in the State of New York, New York City’s Board of Elections Executive Director, Michael Ryan, said that he was sorry for the registration errors that resulted in well over 120,000 Democratic voters purged from voter rolls. PBS reported the estimate of New York City Board of Election’s purged registered Democrats in Brooklyn to be closer to 126,000 voters.

Tuesday, Ryan promised that every single eligible provisional ballot that was cast in New York City last Tuesday would be counted before the election was certified.

Ryan further apologized at the weekly Board of Commissioners’ meeting if the registration issues “caused any amount of the public trust in the voter process in New York City to erode.” Ryan vouched for his own integrity and the integrity of the other staff members on the Board of Elections in New York City.

The Board of Elections also voted to uphold the unpaid suspension of Diane Haslett-Rudiano, the Chief Clerk of Brooklyn, where 37,214 people ended up voting by affidavit. Haslett-Rudiano was blamed for many of the voter registration problems on Election Day. Another 26,131 voters cast their votes by affidavit in the Bronx, and Staten Island saw 4,566 provisional ballots, the New York Daily News reported. Thousands of other voters who believed they were registered left their polling locations after being denied the opportunity to use a regular ballot.

My affidavit ballot is not being counted nor are countless others that were a victim of this election fraud.

Another question, why did they scapegoat the person in charge of and with access to the Republican data, while letting her Democratic counterpart that was the one in charge of most of the data tampering (a Hillary super supporter) completely off the hook?

I expect this is little more than a whitewash and I would lay all odds on my belief that there was no forensic investigation of the software database that held the affiliate information that was fraudulently changed.

I also suspect the number is so small because they looked real hard for only those with photographic and indisputable evidence along with enough accidentally purged Clinton voters to make this appears to be something it was not.

Accuse me of whatever you wish, paint me in tinfoil, it will not change reality! (this comment is not directed at the OP, but rather the clowns that shall soon pounce)

I even contacted the ACLU.

So far nothing but generic "we'll look into it" from everyone, and not a word since.

The fix is fully in, just like the good old days of Tammany Hall
