42. If you don't think having your registration mysteriously switched...

This was the intro to the post.

Yes, this was a primary. But to have irregularities significant enough to catch the attention of the NYC Mayor and also to inspire an audit of the New York City Election Board by the Comptroller sounds significant to me, and concerning for now and for the GE.

The original poster goes on to note "changing poll places 24 hours before the election and opening the polls at noon to keep people from voting" as problems.

Perhaps these don't concern you. They concern me. I don't see why the United States can't run elections that everyone agrees are uniform and fair.
