The Sanders Campaign should ask for an independent audit of the NY vote

Submitted by Bernblu on Fri, 04/22/2016 - 2:43am

Crossposted on Bernie's Reddit site:

Given the wide discrepancy between the exit poll (52-48) and the New York vote results (58-42) I think the Sanders campaign should ask for an independent audit of the vote if the discrepancy cannot be explained. The discrepancy is way out of the margin of error and is estimated at less than 1 in 125,000 to have happened by random chance. If the audit shows a significant miscount of the vote, the campaign should call for a federal investigation of election fraud and a full recount of the vote.

How does that tie in with the audits/investigations that other officials have started?

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (who endorsed Clinton) expressed outrage over the Brooklyn voter suppression and promised an "investigation".

So then what happens...
Hillary Clinton Delegate Will Oversee New York Primary Audit

"Scott Stringer, the New York City comptroller who ordered the audit of the New York City Board of Elections, is on the record as a Hillary Clinton delegate."

The fish rots from the head. And the head is so very very rotten.

IO, AZ, and IL. This election has laid bare the corruption they call free and fair elections.

no doubt.

I went to early vote and the woman handed me a "ballot" that she'd printed out on a freaking office copier. Now how does that work? My recollection is they use special paper for those optical scanners, but when I brought it up, I was, for all intents and purposes, hustled out the door before I could make a stink. That wasn't even necessary for the obvious reasons--there were no other voters in there when I went in, and I was by myself--so I have to go with the next obvious, which was "if I'm outside, I'm not inside, continuing to question this obvious bullshit".

https://www.gofundme.com/electionjusticeny and donate so they can go forward w legal challenges to the NY vote mess.

During the New York primary, over 100,000 Democratic voters were erroneously purged from the records in Brooklyn alone. There have been widspread reports of voting irregularites across the state, and potentially hundreds of thousands more voters were disenfranchised.

Election Justice USA , a national voting rights organization, filed suit in New York Federal District Court, to fight for the rights of the disenfranchised. We are working for free for the public good, and we need your help. We're a 100% volunteer organization, the funds you donate will only be used for covering legal fees and operating costs, which are mounting quickly. Don't let your vote and your voice be supressed. Let's crowdfund justice and uphold our democracy!

So they document the flip of votes from Sanders to Clinton, and they maintain the official count? We probably won IL and it was stolen.

who were kicked off the active list of the Democratic Party. I was given wrong information by the City's Election Board about my right to a court order vote, and I was also misdirected to two different polling sites -- both of them a change from my usual district. My students also reported similar horrors: conflicting directions on how to fill out a provisional ballot, wrong registrations and, in my case, assurances that my paper ballot would indeed be counted. I know that New York elections are famously screwed up, but I've never seen anything like the mess in Brooklyn in my life. And we will probably never know the actual count. They are indeed political cowards for suppressing and undermining the vote.

I'm very grateful to have found this place, especially during the farce that the Democrats have made of this year's primary. I was a longtime lurker at TOP until the Thought Police took over. c99 has been a life-line to actual Progressives who share a common concern for all of us, not simply some of us. Much gratitude!
