Greg Palast: New York voting fiasco just the warm-up for the November game

74. It's not only the rules, its what gets enforced...

... and voter purges are one of those discretionary tools at the hands of elections boards, who tend to be pro-establishment.

I often wondered why the DNC didn't go into full attack mode on election fraud (as opposed to voter fraud, non-existent). It hadn't occurred to me before that these types of shenanigans benefit the establishment of both parties. Debbie Wasserman Schultz would definitely prefer Dems in the minority but she holds her position, over Dems in the majority but her losing a primary. It's that simple. One silver lining in the NY election (and in AZ and IL and MA, etc.) is that this nonsense is being exposed and lawsuits are already happening.

We tended to focus on general elections, and the Southern states, not realizing that some of the worst voter suppression happens in places like NY and Chicago.
