There are Sanders people telling unaffiliated voters....

to demand a scannable vote vs and affidavit ballot.

"What If I'm Not Permitted To Vote?"

If you are not on the poll-list, ask the inspector to verify that you are at the proper table for your address. Make sure that it is your correct Election and Assembly District. It may be because your registration form was not received by the deadline or, for a primary, because you aren't enrolled in a party. If you believe that you are eligible, you can still vote. Ask for an affidavit ballot. After the election, the Board of Elections in the City of New York will check its records and your vote will be counted if you are indeed eligible to vote and are at the correct poll site. If not, you will receive a notice that you are not eligible, along with a registration application for future elections.

PITB, but if they think they might be, but still aren't listed, no prob with what is mostly called a provisional ballot.

is to clog the polling places so that they can then complain of election fraud and vote suppression after Bernie loses.

Their strategy is to clog the polling places so eligible Hillary voters who don't have two hours to stand in line will leave before voting.

Not only does it benefit their candidate, but they also get to whine about being victims the next day.

...a "corrupt campaign finance system".

If you can't beat 'em, cheat 'em.
