NY Primary Election Lawyers: This election must not be Certified until there is a clear result

[Time for change]

From the Inquisitr:

A week after a scandalous Democratic primary election in the State of New York, New York City’s Board of Elections Executive Director, Michael Ryan, said that he was sorry for the registration errors that resulted in well over 120,000 Democratic voters purged from voter rolls. PBS reported the estimate of New York City Board of Election’s purged registered Democrats in Brooklyn (that is, Brooklyn alone) to be closer to 126,000 voters.

Tuesday, Ryan promised that every single eligible provisional ballot that was cast in New York City last Tuesday would be counted before the election was certified….

I need to comment at this time. That is NOT acceptable. What he is saying is that every eligible provisional ballot will be counted. So who’s going to determine what is an eligible provisional ballot? The same officials who purged 126 thousand voters in Brooklyn alone? Are they going to reinstate their Democratic registration before making that decision? Are they going to say on what basis those voters (the good majority who claim to have been registered Democrats prior to being told they couldn’t vote) were purged before they make their decision?

The article continues:

The Board of Elections also voted to uphold the unpaid suspension of Diane Haslett-Rudiano, the Chief Clerk of Brooklyn, where 37,214 people ended up voting by affidavit. Haslett-Rudiano was blamed for many of the voter registration problems on Election Day. Another 26,131 voters cast their votes by affidavit in the Bronx… Thousands of other voters who believed they were registered left their polling locations after being denied the opportunity to use a regular ballot.

I have more questions about that. Have the votes by affidavit yet been counted in New York’s official results and will they be counted? And what is going to be done about the uncounted thousands of voters who left the polling place without voting at all after being denied the right to vote?

The New York Primary election lawyers also have commented on this issue:

This does not do anything to answer the question whether the Brooklyn Board of Elections will count the provisional ballots. This will never return the right to vote of over 100,000 purged voters. We will continue our fight until all Boards of Elections count the Provisional ballots statewide. This election must not be certified until there is a clear result.

Other reported problems in New York included long lines, broken voting machines at precincts where voters were not given the option to cast their ballots by hand, and exit polls state wide that differed from the official count by 12% (with the official count being 12 points more favorable to Clinton than what the exit polls showed).

When taken together with massive voter suppression in Arizona and an investigation that identified 113 purged Sanders voters and only 2 Clinton voters, an audit in Chicago where a voting machine count favored Clinton, but the hand count favored Sanders, so dozens of votes on the hand count were switched from Clinton to Sanders so that the hand count would match the machine count, huge discrepancies between exit polls and the official vote count that favor Clinton in the official count in every state except one, and investigations going on regarding election “irregularities” in several other states as well, only one conclusion can be made at this time: We have a very long way to go and much investigation to be done before we can have any confidence in the currently reported delegate counts.

1. Did NY start reviewing the provisionals yesterday?

And anybody have news of how it's going? I can't find any articles.
