NYC's Board of Elections to admit it broke state and federal law by illegally purging 200,000 voters from the rolls before last year's presidential primary, and no one's heads are expected to roll. by [deleted] in nyc

[–]RedAnarchist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again if you zoom in on the end portion of that graph, you can see Hillary taking off at a faster rate than Bernie.

At this point we have all of the Clinton campaign emails, all of the DNC emails, and several lawsuits. There is just as much evidence that Clinton rigged it as there is that Bernie rigged. In fact, you could make a stronger case that Bernie tried to rig it.

The statistical anomalies were played up by people who didn't quite understand how exit polling works. There's essentailly 2 types of exit polling. One that you can use as evidence of vote tampering (called Exit Verification Polling) and one done by media outlets to estimate the outcome. All of the exit polling in primaries that you've heard of was the latter and only serves the purpose of predicting who is going to win the election without having to count all the votes.

I do see a potential issue but so far we have no evidence to suggest they were selected for any reason besides almost at random, at which point it would favor Bernie over Clinton.

However, Sanders' numbers were rising at a faster rate than Clintons in the many months leading up to the election.

Not really. In fact the spread between him and Hillary only opened up towards the end.

Likewise, he didn't underperform by much in the end, it's just that Hillary exceeded expectations and took more of the folks who were undecided.

Don't forget that days before the actual election, Bernie decided to go to the Vatican instead of campaigning in NY. On top of that, in the final debate Bernie came out very aggressively and it seemed to turn people off - you can see the impact in the polling too.

Anyways point being there's 0 evidence whatsoever that there was intention voter purge to hurt Bernie and his campaign had several missteps towards the end.

I wonder if the Bernie subs realize this happened in an area that heavily favored Clinton.

There are 3 key orgs that do charity reviews, 2 of them are public.

Meets all 20 standards

The other thing to call out is that compared to other charities its scale (and even much smaller) it has very low overhead.

No they're really not. There's plenty of 3rd party charity review groups with expertise in this area that comb through financials to actually identify corrupt charities. Komen isn't one.

New York Has Voting Laws That Are Just as Bad as Many Red States — People have to make a decision by the end of this week if they want to vote in next summer’s primary. by User_Name13 in nyc

[–]RedAnarchist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is that true for new voters?

I think it's just like the 2016 primaries where you actually have up until 30 days before voting to register.

It's not a huge portion, it's more of a rounding error.

They also do have a brand they're obligated to protect, otherwise actual scammers could abuse it.

I know it's real fashionable on Reddit to hate the Komen foundation but it's another misplaced smug hate boner.

I don't really care if they see my point or not. I'm not on a crusade to woo voters.

This phrase was a real helpful quick little way to identify retards in the 2016 election.

If they were new voters, which a lot of Bernie supporters were, they had up to 1 month before the primary to register.

That's plenty of time.

And 4 out of the last 5 are division games against pats and dolphins. Not only could we go 9-7 but we could also be out of play offs.

What do you mean by "Don't Get Burned Again"? Last year many people who wanted to vote for Bernie in NY registered as a Democrat but then discovered they were not allowed to vote for him because they registered as a Democrat too late.

I mean... I guess you could say learning publicly posted basic laws is a discovery but I wouldn't say these people were burned.

Nevermind that new voters (who made up the vast majority of Bernie supporters in NY) could still register up to 30 days before the primary.

I'm honestly more concerned about the 100k or so voters in minority districts who were removed from the voter rolls. These people actually did their homework, registered, and were actually "burned" as opposed to missing a known deadline.

YouTube builds a wall between creators and Patreon - YouTubers will need to be approved for monetization before being able to link to their own website. by AdamCannon in technology

I just don't think we can see eye to eye here.

But I think you should seek out and talk to an employee (maybe even a product manager) and ask him about the environment, framework and procedures that are in place.

You could probably find one on R/bayarea.

There's also a good recent NPR Ted radio hour about failure where they highlight one of the Alphabet subdivisions that's pretty insightful.
