My guess based on looking at the map of where most were purge is it was not targeted at Sanders.

There is not enough information yet as to how The Purge of Voters affected the number of affidavits.

It’s unclear how many of those affidavit ballots — which are done when the voter’s name isn’t on the books — were for voters who had been mistakenly removed.
