Hillary Clinton Delegate Will Oversee A New York Primary Election Audit

"The New York City comptroller, who is auditing the local Board of Elections after reports of voting issues in Tuesday’s primary election, is also a Democratic delegate for Hillary Clinton.

Scott M. Stringer wrote a letter yesterday to Michael Ryan, the executive director of the New York City Board of Elections, informing him of the audit. The letter cited reports of voters purged from voting lists, closed polling stations, and broken machines, among other issues."

Since the areas affected almost certainly would have garnered more votes for Hillary than for Bernie.

That said, I believe someone can be a supporter of one candidate or another and still do a fair and impartial review.

Try this in an enterprise audit and see what happens.

I'm very familiar with auditing SOP.

Unless the outcome is already guaranteed and it's just an exercise for show.
