The scale of voter suppression and disenfranchisement may be larger than we could have realized.

[Bubzer]

The scale of voter suppression and election fraud during the 2016 election cycle has been difficult to grasp—without concrete numbers, it is impossible to definitively conclude how many voters have suffered from purged or changed registrations, arbitrary registration deadlines, ludicrous voter ID laws, and massive polling lines, among other issues.

However, new numbers allow a glimpse into the sheer magnitude of these issues: According to Shyla Nelson, a spokesperson for Elections Justice USA, over 63,500 individuals have been purged from voter registration rolls in Brooklyn, New York alone.

With abundant anecdotes of party affiliations being switched in closed primary states such as California, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Oregon, and Kentucky, it is unbelievable to imagine the widespread nature of this problem.

To combat this in the short-term, Elections Justice USA filed an emergency injunction on Monday to open the closed New York primary due to pervasive voter disenfranchisement. Over 300 individuals who vouched that their party affiliations have been switched are serving as plaintiffs in the case.

According to ThinkProgress, Nelson expressed that, “This is our attempt to provide a means of recourse for those thousands of New York voters who find themselves in this very frustrating position, and to raise awareness about the need for a new level of accountability in the electoral process.”

Over 3 million voters in New York are registered as Independent or unaffiliated; this lawsuit would give them the opportunity to participate in the primary.

The candidate that will likely be most affected by this is Bernie Sanders, as he possesses a large coalition of Independent and new voters rather than long-standing Democrats—with party affiliations switched and registrations disappearing, it has been a large majority of Sanders voters that have been disenfranchised.

Nelson noted this, stating, “A closed primary, under these circumstances, definitely has an unfavorable impact on an insurgent candidate like Bernie, whose base is broader and more diverse than the Democratic Party itself.”

4. Gem$ combined with targeted voter supression... that would make sense.

Find your biggest cluster of Bernie supporters and suppress those areas. Unsurprisingly, voting locations were strategically place in Az.... none in poor neighborhoods, and a 70% reduction in total voting locations... yeah, it adds up to a perfect storm scenario. Do you have an outside link to substantiate what you've stated about GEM$? Not that I doubt you, but I can't use the information and be credible without having an independent source to corroborate.

7. the vendor description of the voter registration software:

This is out in the open. I think it was 2013 when Congress funded states to implement integrated statewide voter registration systems, but it required states to operate centralized electronic vote tabulation systems (to integrate with) in order to qualify for the funds.
