New York Democratic Party Defeats Proposal to Allow Independents to Vote in Democratic Primaries

On May 23-24, the New York Democratic Party held its state convention. The delegates tabled a resolution that would have allowed independent voters to vote in Democratic Party primaries, if they switched to being Democrats by 25 days before the primary. Parties have the right to decide to let independent voters vote in their primaries, regardless of state law. Current New York statutory law says no one can vote in a primary (except new registrants) unless they had registered into the party in the year before the election.

  1. ALSO – THE PRIMARY REGISTRATIONS ARE PURGE LISTS — LOVED BY STALIN AND HITLER TYPE MONSTERS.

  2. I guess the uproar over the inability of thousands of people to vote for Bernie Sanders wasn’t enough.

  3. How many folks move between odd/even election year States
    — in effect vote for 2 State regimes
    — or even for 4 State regimes – by yearly moves
    — since some State legislature hacks now have 4 year terms ???

    Also the USA Senate 6 year terms — moving machinations – esp with USA Senator special elections.
