Will the rabid BernieBro's attempt to disrupt voting?

[TMontoya]

I saw a thread in GDP that touched on about this. Do you think Independent Bernie voters will block polling sites and clog up lines claiming their registration was "changed" (when in reality they didn't register with any party because it's "trendy&quot ? I can almost the collective crying now along with the phony outrage at being "suppressed". I assume NY is ready for something like this like stating all those who wish to vote by provisional ballots please stand over there.

1. Of course they will!

I predict the police officers in the state of New York are in for big overtime checks after Tuesday.

2. You can count on them to act like children and count on the media...

to act like the Sandbaggers are the injured party. And then the adults will vote and the votes will be counted.

4. And...

...the day the votes are counted can't come fast enough because I'm so f'in sick of this crap. Protesting a downballot fundraiser...calling Democrats whores...I can't wait until it's over.

[Walk away]

17. Don't worry....it'll be over before you know it!

Every big primary from now on is a another nail in Bernie's coffin.

19. In the meantime...

I have this group to keep me sane!

3. I'm willing to bet the NYPD

is gearing up for that possibility.

6. Hope so!

5. The Sanders campaign will actively encourage it

Just as they did in Arizona.

7. The answer is yes, pots and pans in toll.

8. cult followers who think they are too good for the democratically determined process will have fits

because their cult leader tells them to do so

[mcar]

9. They will try

I hope NY is ready for their "revolution."

[jmowreader]

12. Oh, they are, trust me

The NYPD has seen a LOT of revolting things in their time. They can handle a few thousand people who want to overthrow the government without much problem.

[shenmue]

13. Yep

10. New York is not Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska, or even Nevada. New York officials won't take any crap...

....from anyone on Tuesday.

11. NY is not going to tolerate shenanigans. Especially not in the city.

They apparently want to blame everyone but themselves.

[Thinkingabout]

14. I think I remember the cry to have Bill Clinton arrested because he was blocking people from voting.

Well, there you go, an opportunity to get arrested for blocking voters from having a chance to vote.

15. If it happens in NYC, my guess is that it would only be an issue at certain polling stations...

Because of the population size of NYC, there are a lot of poll locations. As a result, people are mostly voting in their immediate neighborhoods. So if hipsters in the gentrified parts of Williamsburg, Brooklyn were too cool to register as Democrats, but try to vote for BS anyway, causing delays, they'll probably be inconveniencing their fellow BS voters, more than anyone else. I very much doubt that the grownup residents of the South Bronx will encounter much of this.

And I have to assume that the BOE, the mayor and the police are aware that that there's been talk of people trying to vote who are ineligible to do so. If they show up specifically and obviously to disrupt, I hope they have dad's lawyer on speed dial. And this being NYC, that they think twice before getting obnoxious with the wrong group of 'old ladies' in line with them.

The 2008 primary between HRC and BHO had a huge turnout. I don't recall such drama on this issue then, or any other time, even though the law has been the same for as long as I can remember. Amazing!

18. I have seen it on FB

Some people screaming their registration was changed. Are these people really that uninformed about their own state law?
