Who Purged All The Voters In New York?

I haven't heard why so many people were taken off the rolls, and not allowed to vote.

Anyone know what actually happened?

1. They are performing an 'audit' and doing a 'review'. Therefore, under these circumstances

no delegates should be awarded to either. If an audit or review still means they cannot fix this, make it right, as in there cannot be a re-vote? Then the next course of action would be to nullify the results and campaigners move on, lessons learned by the cheaters, or split the delegates evenly. With what is already known, no delegates should be awarded without a resolution. The results are not real. They should be chucked!

attention to much vote rigging, voter suppression, and election stealing by the republicons since 2000.

I have seen more of this in this Democratic primary than in all that republicon thievery. It is disgusting and I am sooooo done with the DNC.

It certainly looks suspicious that more than 125,000 Democrats were dropped from Brooklyn's voter rolls between last November and Tuesday's primary. New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer said that the Board of Elections confirmed the voters were removed and that his office would conduct an audit to see if anything improper was done.

But Michael Ryan, executive director of the elections board, denied anyone was disenfranchised. While more than 100,000 voters were taken off the rolls, he told the New York Times, 63,000 were added and the decline did not "shock his conscience." He told WNYC that "people die every day and they come off the list," and New Yorkers move a lot — another reason they might be taken off the rolls.

Indeed, there might very well be a good — and legitimate — explanation for why all those names were removed.
