First Postponed, Now Canceled

The New York Democratic presidential primary was originally scheduled to happen tomorrow, Tuesday, April 28. First, it was postponed until June 23. Today, the New York State Board of Elections canceled the primary altogether. The New York Times shared the news this afternoon: "New York Board of Elections Cancels Democratic Presidential Primary."  According to the article, "Officials said they had struggled with the decision but they ultimately concluded that the risk of spreading coronavirus was too great to justify holding an election with no real meaning." Bernie Sanders ended his campaign at the beginning of April.

  1. "they ultimately concluded that the risk of spreading coronavirus was too great to justify holding an election with no real meaning."

    I think what they mean is: In an unprecedented vote by mail primary, Biden could lose and that would be damning.

  2. I call it the Erosion Method. First take away one thing, then another right, then another freedom. Each time they see if people will object, and they don't. Before you know it, there's nothing left.
