ELECTION LAWSUIT UPDATES:

[FourScore]

Tweets from Jordan Chariton - The Young Turks. He is in the courtroom and tweeting live updates.

Main points:

1. If you are registered as dem and you have been purged or changed - GET A COURT ORDER FROM A JUDGE OR FILL OUT A PROVISIONAL BALLOT. Some are saying that a judge almost always sides with the voter. DU'er winter is coming makes the excellent point that getting a court order means your ballot will be counted TODAY. However, if you absolutely cannot see a judge, fill out a provisional.

2. If you are registered independent - To say you are registered as a democrat when, in reality, you are not is VOTER FRAUD!!! You may, however, leave the party affiliation blank!!! It may still be counted.

3. Some people are reporting 7 Clinton delegates and 6 Sanders delegates with instructions to vote for 7. It should say pick UP TO 7 delegates!!! Only vote for your candidate's delegates!!!!!!

4. PLEASE KICK AND REC THIS FOR WIDER VISIBILITY!!!!!!!

UPDATE: Video update from Jordan Chariton, The Young Turks. I can't embed the video because it is posted on facebook, and is not uploaded onto youtube, as far as I can tell.

H/T to Kittycat for the link!

1. Getting a court order is better than a provisional ballot, as your vote will be counted TODAY.

Dog knows when provisionals will be counted.

[FourScore]

2. Thanks! I added it to the OP!!! Good point! n/t

[winter is coming]

3. Someone on reddit pointed that out, so h/t to reddit. n/t

[Luminous Animal]

4. 126,000 dropped from the voting rolls in Brooklyn alone.

[FourScore]

6. Terrible. And it has nothing to do with Sandy because the purge happened 11/15-4/16. n/t

[Travis_0004]

30. Is that voters who had not voted in 8 years or something else?

In ny you must vote once every 8 years or you your party registration is dropped.( you can vote in a non primary still)

I dont like the law, but it is what it is. Or are these people that were dropped for another reason.

[snot]

5. Very helpful! Any word on how to get a court order?

Or are the polling places providing that info?

One GOOD thing about NY law, as I understand, is that employers are required to give people the day off to vote – so the court order option might actually be do-able, at least for some.

[FourScore]

8. Ask at the polling place, otherwise I guess the court house? Anyone know the answer to this?

[LiberalElite]

20. rly? I haven't had any time off to

vote in many years.

[snot]

33. Hmm, I read that somewhere recently, but maybe it wasn't true?

[LiberalElite]

34. I'm in NYC

Started out Election Day was a holiday. Then we got two hours at beginning or end of the workday
Then no time off at all. Of course if someone wanted to use their accumulated PTO to vote they probably could but as for us getting additional time off to vote that hasn't been a thing for a good while for me.

[snot]

44. Thanks for the correction!

[LiberalElite]

45. Here's the relevant part of the NYS Election Law:

16. I have to leave now to take care of my kids, vote and canvass!! Can someone please answer this?!

Gotta go!!

[brooklynite]

24. Generally, there are election protection lawyers available that will handle the matter

However, the same rule applies; you'll only have legal standing if you claim that you WERE a Democrat or Registered voter and that your registration was changed or invalidated. You will NOT have legal standing if you know you never re-registered.

[winter is coming]

26. link to PDF explaining the process:

28. Ah. Very interesting. Thanks!

[pat_k]

14. Thx for update.

NYPrimary election lawsuit: Judge orders hearing 4 later date, instructs plaintiffs to name every single NY county as..

Defendants and give each county notice that they have to appear in court to defend their voter registration process

These sound very interesting to me. Would love to see more information/clarification.

Is this essentially broadening scope for subsequent hearing? That is, each county will have to defend registration and maintenance processes and account for problems?

Seems like, whatever ultimately happens, it might result in a much needed examination of the processes.

17. In Summary

1) Registered Independents or non-Democrats pretty much out of luck and cautioned against Voter Fraud
2) The Provisional Ballot Democrats who can show that they were registered Democrat and did not disenfranchise themselves could be counted later(if it matters)
3) Apparently New York Primary remains Closed-no mention of Constitutionality of New York primary Law(I've read a SCOTUS case approving of New York's Closed Primary which seemingly would be binding although I didn't do a writ history)

[FourScore]

23. Not exactly. But thanks for trying. n/t

[Stallion]

31. Rosario v Rockefeller (1973) is the Case and It Has Never Been Reversed or Modified

by the US 2nd Court of Appeals or SCOTUS-looks like good law

When did that start? I kid, I kid...I tried that here and I would be in serious trouble.

22. It's state court, isn't it?

They're not as strict about having electronic devices.

But, even if it's federal court, reporters can get waivers to have them. I had one when I covered some of the Boston bombing trial. I could use my phone to Tweet, but couldn't take pictures.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. Trust me we all filed with the judge

But local judges just ahem frown at tweeting from the court room. Though, brought IPad, wrote my morning narrative already. Am afraid this will go on until tomorrow.

They don't mind if we text before things get underway.

And you are correct. They likely filed, and under open court room rules...

38. "You may, however, leave the party affiliation blank!!! It may still be counted" == voter fraud

You are encouraging people to attempt to vote deceptively.

[FourScore]

40. No. It was recommended by lawyers in case the judge decided to rule for an open primary. n/t

[Tarc]

41. Yea, you give that "but the lawyers said it was ok!" excuse in court, sport

There is no legal basis for a judge to flip a primary from closed to open, doubly so on the fucking day of the fucking election. Jesus, wake up.

[FourScore]

42. Thanks for kickiing the thread - still 35 minutes to vote!

Sport!

43. I love kicking threads that make Camp Sanders look foolish

So, you're welcome.
