5518. Dave Harpe from Sacramento, CA The Democratic primaries have been questionable in many states, but New York was one of the worst. It really needs to be done over, with safeguards so the same thing won't happen again.

5494. Steve Taylor from Forestville, NY One close friend checked with BOA one month before the NYS democratic primary and was listed as an active democrat. He checked one week before the primary and had no affiliation, and thus did not vote. Another close friend was switched from active democrat to conservative without her consent.

5483. Simone from Stone Ridge, NY I watched the election officials lie and turn people away right after they were told by county now to take affidavit ballots.

5471. Ami Spears from Woodway, TX (Hundreds of) thousands of citizens were not able to vote in New York due to lack of polling stations, busted machines and deliberate suppression all over the state, a majority in Brooklyn alone.

5461. Ariana Bernstein from Fairfax, CA Californians are outraged and fearful that what happened in NY might also occur in California in a few weeks. Please reassure us by taking the action this petition requests.

5452. Jennifer Quirin from Nicholasville, KY NY needs to right this wrong! Purging the number of votes that they did is illegal, corrupt and undemocratic. We need REAL numbers not the ones that the people hiding behind the curtain running the show want the numbers to be!

5434. Diana Finch from Bronx, NY I am a poll worker who worked at this election, 16% of the Democratic voters in my ED needed affidavits, and only 1 out of 3 of those affidavits has been cast. Also scanners accepted 1000s of ballots without reading a vote on them and without warning the voter - unrecorded ballots. See the certified results for this evidence.

5427. Kathy Pegg from New York Mills, NY A new primary is the ONLY way to convince me that this was not a completely rigged election.

5421. Ursula Aldrich from Santa Fe, NM

Attorney General, I am a Native American from South Dakota, and we know so much about abuses of the governmental processes and of elections. You may not know about Dickie Wilson and his "goon squads," but what happened in your state seems like the same thing on a massive scale, to steal the votes from a quarter million brown and black people: This is beyond merely unacceptable and is becoming a true international disgrace to our whole nation! You already know about Tammany Hall but you should read up on the South Dakota Goon Squads that worked over both the Lakota and the Oglala. We haven't forgotten and so we ask you just for your own enlightened self interest to move this case forward into federal court with your request for a new NY primary. I will pray for your success and future.

5415. Wendy Bridges from Plattsburgh, NY I have Friends both Democrats and Republicans that were purged from the voter rolls. What good does it do to register to vote if you can purge me without notice!

5411. Stacey Webb from East Amherst, NY

I refuse to accept the results of the NY primary. It reeks of rampant voter suppression and election fraud. This is not about any one candidate. This is about one of our most basic rights -- our most important right as American citizens living under the expectations of a fair, equal and just democracy. That is not what we have been witnessing this election cycle. A complete redo of the NYS primary is the only way to fairly and rightly remedy the injustices that clearly took place on April 19, 2016. We the people, demand it.

5409. Anne Bernstein from Stanfordville, NY Many of my friends in the city showed up to vote and weren't in the system. If every delegate counts, all ballots must be counted.

5362. Graciela Arroyo from Tucson, AZ The election should be re-done because it disenfranchised thousands of voters as in Arizona!

5337. John Pietaro from Brooklyn, NY It is undemocratic to disenfranchise voters!

Early in the 2016 Primary campaign, I started a Facebook group: Bernie Sanders: Advice and Strategies to Help Him Win! As the primary season advanced, we shifted the focus to advancing Bernie's legislation in the Senate, particularly the (more...)
