54,000 Brooklyn voters ‘vanish’ ahead of primary day | |
2016-04-20 | |
![]() It's not that they were dead or anything? The voter rolls on April 1 showed the borough had 853,687 registered Democrats who are considered "active" because they voted at least once in the last four years. But in November, there were 917,508, or 63,558 more. The board said the numbers changed because many once-active voters were moved to the inactive list. But that list grew by only 9,154 voters -- from 82,807 to 91,961 -- leaving 54,404 Brooklyn voters missing.

#9 I wonder if that ever bothered the people doing the census and subsequent apportionment for representation? |

#8 Apparently people are very mobile in Brooklyn, moving in and moveing on frequently. As a result, voter verification postcards often get bounced back as "no such person at this address." |

#7 Kasic is a pub party funded spoiler. No way he can do anything other than potentially destroy the choice of the majority of American voters. I have no use for the man, never have. |

#5 Voters on the inactive list can still cast a ballot if they live in the city. Count votes that "just came in" until the right candidate wins, right? |

#1 I hope they figure things out so we can avoid this nonsense in the General Election. Apparently two centuries worth of elections isn't enough to get it right yet. |
