Are they all Bernie supporters as Bernie people around here condend?

(71,265 posts)5. They just started counting so no results.
My guess based on looking at the map of where most were purge is it was not targeted at Sanders.

You don't register to vote by the candidate you support.
apnu
(8,758 posts)10. I know, but Bernie people convinced themselves of a vast Hillary conspiracy.
This data will prove or disprove that.
DURHAM D
(32,610 posts)11. It has already been disproven,
unless one is a CTer.

(8,168 posts)7. It seems like those kinds of numbers are routine
There is not enough information yet as to how The Purge of Voters affected the number of affidavits.
Its unclear how many of those affidavit ballots which are done when the voters name isnt on the books were for voters who had been mistakenly removed.

(71,265 posts)9. In 2008 there were 26,000 affidavit ballots during the primary city wide.
Last year was the first voter purge done in several years.
