Will the Arizona Election Fraud be repeated in New York

Time for Change has posted this in GD-P: New York Election Fraud: Is Arizona Happening Again?:

What the article doesn’t say, perhaps because the writer is unaware of it, further investigation into the voter suppression in Arizona strongly suggested that it was targeted at Bernie Sanders. In an attempt to shed more light on the voter suppression in AZ, an attempt was made to identify as many voters as possible who were disenfranchised because they found out on Election Day that they were no longer registered as a Democrat, and find out who they intended to vote for. Other than a few whose voter preferences the investigation could not discover, 113 intended to vote for Sanders and 2 intended to vote for Clinton. Much anecdotal evidence from New York (there are also reports of it happening in Pennsylvania, but this article is just about New York) suggests that this voter suppression in similarly targeted at Sanders.

"One of the more disturbing allegations made on the Heavy.com article by an anonymous poster was that the databases for people to access voter registration and to be able to change party affiliations is run by NGP VAN. NGP VAN was the company at the center of the controversy last December about the lack of security in the DNC databases that allowed Bernie Sanders staffers to access some of Hillary Clinton’s data. The company is headed by one of Bill Clinton’s former staffers, Stu Trevelyan, and one of the employees is the nephew of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chairwoman who has sparked outrage over allegations of trying to game the election for Clinton."

My comment:
So... the same company manages BOTH databases. Not too difficult to pick out Bernie supporters and purge their registrations. I wonder how many OTHER states this has happened in. NO WONDER Bernie does better in caucus states !

ARIZONA and NEW YORK are both CLOSED primaries. You must be registered as a Democrat ahead of time in order to vote for Bernie. Voters whose info has been hacked and changed will not be able to vote for Bernie. So, yes. New York and other states with a closed primary are vulnerable to this type of voter suppression.

there seems to be a pattern. If it is a pattern, there will be a trail. If anonymous ever really wanted a worthy project, this would be it.

They will steal it, if we let them.

ANONYMOUS NEEDS TO HELP.

PEACE
LOVE

I cannot tell you how SAD it makes me that our government has decided it's perfectly acceptable to steal elections. We need poll watchers and exit polling EVERYWHERE in NEW YORK and every other closed primary state!
