Last year, during the New York primary election, many Brooklyn residents arrivedat their polling locations only to be told that they did not exist and were no longer on the voting roll. Dubbed the "Great Brooklyn Voter Purge," well over 100,000 people had been mysteriously removed from the list and were thus ineligible to vote.
Even then-candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) weighed in, saying that it was "absurd" that people were stripped of their right to vote. Sanders lost the New York primary to Hillary Clinton. Many posited that the purge was aimed at Sanders supporters.
