It may be a while before the final results for New York Democrats are known.About 54,000 Democratic voters "vanished from the rolls in Brooklyn," the New York Post writes. Other reports say more than 120,000 voters -- "whole city blocks," according to CNN -- have been affected.
Election officials say these potential Democratic voters were moved to an "inactive list." It's possible it happened simply because the voter database was not properly maintained, said Board of Elections executive director Michael Ryan. Brooklyn is expected to be a stronghold for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Some activists are calling this a "voter purge" and vote fraud. Brooklyn Councilman Brad Lander told the Post the issue was "weird" and "troubling."
Election officials promise an investigation, but of course that will happen after the primary is completed.
