      About half of the people I spoke to at today's Bernie rally (out of ~50) were ineligible to vote in the NY primary for one reason or another

      Despite its reputed liberalism, NY's "closed primary" system likely disenfranchises more people than any voter ID law. Beyond ridiculous.

          @mtracey It's not disenfranchising for party members to choose their own nominee.

          @TaritaC The deadline to switch registration in NY was last October. That's effectively disenfranchisement.

          @livecut Calling attention to an undue burden imposed by the state on voting access is "pouting." Nice attitude.
