New York cancels presidential primary, citing coronavirus

2020-04-28

[FOXNEWS] New York has canceled its Democratic presidential primary for the first time ever due to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...

...The ~~only~~ first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...

The move by Democrats on the New York State Board of Elections -- nixing the election scheduled for June 23 -- followed Sanders’ announcement earlier this month that he would suspend his presidential campaign, rendering former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

the presumptive Democratic nominee.

With this decision, New York became the first state to cancel its primary altogether, though 16 states have postponed their primaries amid the pandemic and many have taken steps to encourage voting by mail.

The announcement drew fire from Sanders supporters. On Sunday, Sanders’ campaign asked the New York State Board of Elections to let his name remain on the Democratic primary ballot, saying doing so would impede "efforts to unify the Democratic Party in advance of November elections."

"It is completely wrong for the BOE to cancel New York’s Presidential Primary," tweeted New York Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez

, who had endorsed Sanders in the race. "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!"

#5 6-1/2 months to election time and the Dems don't have a viable candidate. When the Dems finally choose a candidate, look for a lot of election fraud to try to gain control of the House and the Senate. IMHO, this is unlikely to happen.

Did AOC just admit that mail in voting was rife with fraud?

#3 Freudian projection? Kinda like the idea that Trump wouldn't concede when he "lost" the election?

#2 That Biden comment the other day about Trump wanting to postpone the election was nothing but Freudian Projection of the Lefts desires when they're in power.

#1 New York has canceled its Democratic presidential primary for the first time ever due to an utter lack of interest on the part of America voters. An anonymous source in the Democratic Party said, "Nobody wants to vote for these losers. Hell, their own mother's wouldn't vote for them"
