As a NY state resident for a significant portion of my life with family still there, and relatives who came into this country via the Harbor, I owe it to them!

Kick!

Apparently they have the database of people who were incorrectly removed from the rolls.
They have the affidavit ballots.

Those who were removed in accordance with the rules should not have their vote counted.. period.
Those who were disenfranchised should have their votes counted and final tallies adjusted.. period. WITHOUT having to spend their extra time and energy fighting to get their vote counted.

Especially in this age of technology, if the board of elections don't have the capability of doing this without putting such a burden on the voters, they need to be tossed out and competent people put in.

And I say this as a supporter of Hillary. Regardless of if the disenfranchisement goes for or against your candidate, disenfranchisement is a blight on our system, and nobody should support it.
