No less a personage than the NYC Comptroller, whose job it is to crunch numbers when something looks fishy, has called into question, by implication, the New York primary results. Comptroller Scott Stringer has "confirmed" that "more than 125,000 voters in Brooklyn were removed from voter rolls." Brooklyn is one of five NY Boroughs. Multiply that by five and you get 625,000 voters. And that's just the city. 1.7 million voters officially turned out for the NY Democratic primary. It takes no genius to see that's a game changer, and a big one.
Comptroller Stringer said in a scathing press release:
There is nothing more sacred in our nation than the right to vote, yet election after election, reports come in of people who were inexplicably purged from the polls, told to vote at the wrong location or unable to get in to their polling site, Comptroller Stringer said. The people of New York City have lost confidence that the Board of Elections..."
Stringer is a Hillary superdelegate. And even he says it stinks. You can't get politically covered any better than that.

I read an article recently where someone from outside the country confessed to stealing elections around the world.

This individual, a Columbian, hacked elections in many different countries. Our voting and the voting registration process in many, many parts of the country are on computers that can be hacked.
I am not naive enough to think that something like this has not happened in our country. It's too easy, and the stakes are way, way, WAY too high.
We'll need to organize to reform the election SYSTEM in a very comprehensive manner if we are to EVER have faith and trust in our elections again. I believe we deserve to have that faith in our elections, but we have a lot of work to do to get there.

Personally, I think they need to get themselves together and file a class action suit.
