The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is calling for the reinstatement of more than 126,000 voters who were purged from voter rolls ahead of New York’s Presidential Primaries last Tuesday.
“Too many questions remain about this purge,” NYPIRG said. “How could one person order the purging of so many in violation of State Law. Who else knew? What protocols were either not in place or not followed to prevent this scandal?”
In a statement, the good-government group said the City and State investigations should weigh whether to bring criminal charges in the incident.
“The Board of Elections must release a step-by-step uniform statement detailing exactly how each of their five borough offices conducts voter purges before any further action is taken,” the group said. “A similar statement should be provided concerning voter registration protocols and procedures for placing voters on the ‘inactive list.’”
