Snopes reports HOAX: report of vote switches from Sanders to Clinton is FALSE.

http://www.snopes.com/votes-switched-sanders-clinton/

A Huffington Post impostor site falsely reported that New York primary voters witnessed their votes changing from Bernie Sanders to Hillary Clinton.

SNIP

Additionally, a tiny gray hyperlink titled "Disclaimer" at the very bottom of article led to a page that acknowledged the site's counterfeit nature and identified the site's content as "fiction":

**Today’s question…can liberals be trolled as easily as Republicans? We shall see.

Clearly, Huffington Poste could not be bothered to authenticate a story that actually said it was false.
