********** VERY IMPORTANT *************
Today is Primary Day in NY and theres already been several instances of people who are experiencing severe Voter Suppression
there are reports of:
- machines not working right
- turning down voters who don’a have a Voter id (even though it’s not legally needed to vote)
- Voting booths being opened hours late so people get tired and leave before they can vote
- voter hours being cut so working class people can’t vote
Keep In Mind: this is the same state who’s people recently Filed An Emergency Lawsuit To Give Voting Rights Back To 3.2 Million People, after Hundreds of voters, most of them registered with the Democratic Party, are claiming their voter registration was mysteriously changed to “independent” or “no affiliation” without their consent. Making them unable to vote in the closed primary state.
DO NOT LET THEM MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM!! STAY IN LINE AND VOTE!! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!!!

I have several relatives who couldn’t vote because they had to work; they didn’t get absentee ballots because everyone was under the impression polls would be open earlier than noon (as they always are, even for smaller local elections) and it was too late to get absentee ballots by the time they got off their shifts. I and several friends couldn’t vote because we’re registered as Independent - those of us who DID manage to switch before the really fucking early deadline all the way back in October were told that their party changes wouldn’t go into effect until after the general election, so it basically did nothing.
Shit’s. Fucked.
