The Brooklyn Democratic Party blasted out two erroneous emails to thousands of voters Monday night that said any registered voter could participate in the primary election.
Only registered voters who are members of a party with a primary may vote in these elections. The primaries on Tuesday are to select state Senate and congressional nominees and there are not contests in every part of the city, particularly in Brooklyn.
“I’ve had some very challenging conversations with constituents trying to explain why, in the middle of August, their friends and neighbors are voting and they are not. People who vote religiously have reached out asking why they can’t this time around and, in short, the confusion has abounded.” Myrie told Gothamist.
The party organization has been subject of a series of reports from the online news site The City scrutinizing its leadership and operations,A congressional primary in the newly drawn 12th Congressional District pitting two longtime incumbents against each other has drawn few voters so far this morning. But some of those who showed up at the Robert Wagner Middle School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan Tuesday morning expressed a strong desire for new blood.
“There’s a feeling of staleness in the Democratic Party in Congress, and I like a new person coming in to push the agenda forward,” she said.
