I hope all of the recent (predominantly white) disenfranchised voters mobilize and put their anger to good now that they have personally been affected by it. Voting rights and voter suppression have long impacted communities of color but never has there been such anger and outcry as over recent months. Voter suppression did not begin with this primary but has a long, corrupt history in this country. In fact, voting rights is a focus of Clinton’s platform. To assume that only Bernie supporters were impacted in NY is erroneous and to stake unsubstantiated claims to that effect is irresponsible, in my opinion. Similar assumptions were widely shared among Bernie supporters following the Arizona primary, yet Bernie and Hillary are jointly suing the state over its history of voting rights infringements.

This article from the American Prospect published in 2014 is well researched and informative, should you wish to learn more about this issue and engage in some activism. http://prospect.org/article/22-states-wave-new-voting-restrictions-threatens-shift-outcomes-tight-races

“A study by social scientists Keith Bentele and Erin O’Brien of the University of Massachusetts Boston found that restrictions were more likely to pass “as the proportion of Republicans in the legislature increased or when a Republican governor was elected.” After Republicans took over state houses and governorships in 2010, voting restrictions typically followed party lines.The Brennan Center for Justice likewise found that of the 11 states with the highest African American turnout in 2008, seven passed laws making it harder to vote. Of the 12 states with the largest Hispanic population growth in the 2010 Census, nine have new restrictions in place. And of the 15 states that used to be monitored closely under the Voting Rights Act because of a history of racial discrimination in elections, nine passed new restrictions.”
