Bungled NYC primary voting sparks Board of Elections probe: 'It's time we clean up this mess'

A record-setting deluge of Primary Day voter complaints led Tuesday to the angry promise of a full-scale investigation into the city’s long-bumbling Board of Elections.

The flood of gripes, running the gamut from locked doors to botched voter rolls, led irate city Controller Scott Stringer to announce an immediate probe of an incompetent agency.

“Unfortunately in New York City, this is nothing new,” Stringer told a news conference some 10 hours after the polls opened — or didn’t — at 6 a.m. “The next president of the United States could very easily be decided tonight.

“And yet the incompetence of the Board of Elections puts a cloud over these results. It’s time we clean up this mess.”

The Democrats rigged the election for Clinton - if she lost or won by a small margin in her "home" state it would be devastating. The spin by the Democrat officials is that these are screw ups and not intentional.

I don't think this affected the GOP side because the irregularities were in heavily pro-Sanders areas - in other words it was designed to help Clinton against Sanders.

These are journalist Michael Tracey’s tweets:

I’m at the BK Board of Elections — elderly lady who’s been an active Dem since 1976 was inexplicably purged from voter rolls. Judge shocked— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) April 19, 2016

Another example in Brooklyn: woman registered as Dem since 2004, who voted as recently as 2012, purged from voter rolls as “inactive”— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) April 19, 2016

Brooklyn resident and Bernie supporter spent several hours today trying to vote and was blocked. Well done NY. pic.twitter.com/vuM7O77Qxe— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) April 19, 2016

Just watched an intended Bernie voter turned away at BK polling site. Says he registered two months ago, but nothing on file. Same old story— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) April 19, 2016

Stopped by Stat. Island BoE. The # of hoops you have to jump through to obtain a court order to vote is nuts. Only a few have done so today.— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) April 19, 2016

The Upper Eastside has always been bad. Once my registration card was missing from that huge book the old ladies are in charge of and I had to fill out an absentee ballot. It didn’t give me much hope that my vote counted because the floor was awash with discarded absentee ballots...
