Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Monday blasted the New York Board of Elections for canceling this year's Democratic presidential primary.
Ocasio-Cortez challenged the notion that the decision was made with public health in mind, noting that the state is still holding down ballot elections the same day.
“It is completely wrong for the BOE to cancel New York’s Presidential Primary,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.
“This decision is not informed by public health: the state is still holding elections for every other seat that day, & so far the only way your ballot will 100% be counted in NY is to vote in person!” she added.
**SNIP**
The cancellation comes a day after lawyers for former presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) campaign sent a letter to the State Board of Elections asking that Sanders remain on the ballot, despite ending his presidential bid.
Sanders pledged to remain on upcoming primary ballots after ending his campaign in an effort to pressure the Democratic National Committee to adopt a more progressive platform at the party’s convention in August.

Democrat Party doesn’t want Bernie Bro third party Communists voting Cortezes in those down ballot races.
Hey, hey! Blind squirrel finds nut! She's right, if they're holding other elections, they can't claim they're cancelling that one particular race over COVID. Well, they can CLAIM it, but it's obvious they're stupid or lying.
This nonstop vomit box is getting beyond tiresome.
this little kommie fool is actually right this time!
Fewer people going to the polls
“& so far the only way your ballot will 100% be counted in NY is to vote in person”
Problems with vote counting in NY? Sort of like there might be some kind election fraud going on there? Gee, I thought that was all a malicious (and racist, sexist, xenophobic, transphobic, anti-immigrant, voter-suppressing, ...) Republican lie. /s
Holy dingbat, Batman! I actually agree with Occasional Cortex!
And that is the endgame here, the communists want to run the Democrat side of the Democrat party into the Republican Party and dilute it, and fully take over the Democrat party and push it left getting the party’s ballot access, deep pockets, and ‘muh grandaddy voted democrat’ deep base.
What a horrible person, AOC is.
JoMa
On the face of it, this seems pretty odd. I would think that the ballots have long since been printed so the Dims have as much time as possible to pre-fill them "correctly" before they get to the public. Which would include the Presidential candidates, such as they are.
Looks like AOC is proving the "blind squirrel" theory once again.
Biden does not have a majority of delegate votes yet. According to Real Clear Politics, Biden currently has 1282 with 2382 needed to secure the nomination on the first ballot. Biden needs 1100 more. My question: is a brokered convention still possible?

I wish Cortez would go out and campaign for Biden in her district, one of the hardest hit from the virus
Now why would anyone want that? It's like someone is trying to mickey with the electoral system.
It would have to be someone interested in the POTUS job.
Someone connected.
Someone who controls a lot of superdelegates.
Maybe even someone from New York.
Exactly. If the dems go to convention without Biden having 2382 delegates, the first vote fails. The second vote is open to new nominations. Biden can get the boot.
Bernie is out, Slow Joe is in for a while before he is MeToo-icided....save a few bucks for the DNC not having to buy cigarettes and liquor for potential Dem voters.
