They should re-run the primaries or at least the areas in the state that were subject to voter fraud. This needs to be overseen by an independent body. There no excuses.

(10,622 posts)They did it not just to me, but others as well, all appear to be hose likely to vote Sanders in the primary, since they effectively "kicked me out" of my party of 37 years, unless Sanders wins the primary, I will write in my primary vote for Sanders at the time of the general election thereby taking back my primary vote that belongs to me, and vote working families party down ticket of the presidency, (they endorse nearly always Democrats but chose the ones that are the most working family friendly rather than party backed).
And, since they no longer want this Democrat, there will be one fewer Democrat in the future, likely more, with a little more effort (if enough has not already been put forth) by DWS, Democratic enrollment will drop yet again, likely down to 25% after this primary clusterfuck. She has done such a bang up job so far deceasing Democratic enrollment that the party should give her a medal.

(3,040 posts)Thom Hartmann said that there have been flipped registrations in NY, and today is the last day to register as a Democrat & it is a closed election state. Hmmm... So look out for NY.

(3,017 posts)New York voters can only register online today because state offices are closed for Good Friday. Today is the end of voter registration for a primary that is still over 3 weeks off.
And New York state law says that any change in voter registration between parties, or from Independent to Democratic or Republican, will not take effect until after the November election. So Independent voters who decided to switch their registrations to Democratic and vote for Sanders in the April 19 primary will not be able to vote in the Democratic primary.
I don't see any way Bernie is going to beat Hillary in New York with a closed primary and independents blocked from switching to Democratic to vote in the primary.

(3,017 posts)Better to help their establishment candidates get the nomination. They don't want Independents to see if they like a candidate in either party and then vote in their primary.
So if you're an Independent, both parties are saying we will give you the 2 choices you have in November. You don't have any say in it.

That might be something we should look to avoid.

Interesting theory, I give you points for absurd creativity.

(13,408 posts)I expect there will be numerous reports of people who changed party affiliation between October and March who will not be allowed to vote. I'm guessing many will claim it to be voter suppression.

(4,753 posts)devious little reported caveat that if you made changes online on the day before the deadline, those changes would not be recorded before the end of the deadline yesterday so will not count for the primary. Changes made at registrar offices in-person yesterday will be recorded and will count for the primary. Cute, eh?

It really has gotten so bad that my statement is not an exaggeration or an overreaction, but simple truth.

The four are a small fraction of the dozens of state parties that the Hillary for America campaign has asked to join such agreements. Many are still considering the request; some officials said they are working through how the arrangement would be put into effect while the nominating fight is underway.
Mississippi, Virginia and Wisconsin have also signed agreements with the Clinton team, according to two people briefed on the issue who were not authorized to speak publicly.
State Party Chair Martha Laning has been under fire for this since it became public. She has claimed to be neutral but her actions have put the lie to her words.

As the Church Lady used to say: "Isn't that special?"
You might ask why the state Democratic party would enter into this agreement, and that is a good question. The answer is what has been driving politics since the disastrous Citizens United decision: $ money $!
According to the <a href="">Sane Progressive</a>,
"Clinton's funders are so large that the real motivation of this isn't to get money from the states. It is too FUNNEL money to the state's by her funders (who will donate directly to the state party) and thus gain influence and control of that state's party through her funding."
