Roughly a dozen candidates running for positions in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and beyond gathered in front of the Brooklyn Board of Elections on Adams Street Tuesday, calling for election law reform and the defeat of their political opponents in the city and state’s political machine.
The candidates, including a slate calling themselves political outsiders who are running for Brooklyn Civil Court judgeships in the September 12 Democratic primary, are backed by the New York Bernie Sanders Committee for Change (NYBSCC), which officially launched Tuesday.
NYBSCC is demanding a criminal investigation into last year’s voting fiasco on the eve of the Democratic presidential primary, in which more than 126,000 voters were lost or wiped off the rolls, 100,000 in Brooklyn alone.
