Seen in this unexpected light maybe the party would like to change a few things- like not cheapskating upstate as if we are all rural peasants scattered over the non-NYC wilderness.
The point is the registration is ponderously frozen in place, but not the voters passions. The state party can get a big black eye on Tuesday if it can't deliver beyond these fixed structures. If anything, the lack of fudging that is even possible will make the results very stark unless the big Clinton win happens.

No - they weren't. If the system had it wrong, they were given a provisional ballot to shut them up.
