So as a poll inspector I will say I am pleasantly surprised at the
turn out. Usually I sit there at the polls and can read three books the
size of Le Miserables on the taxpayers’ dime, but thanks to the Bernie and
Trump supporters people actually came to vote. So pat yourselves on the
back lads and ladies.
Now as to results. I personally
thought Bernie would have won in New York, but Hillary beat him out. I
heard a rumor that something like 16,000 to 25,000 people were ineligible to
vote in one particular area, but that seems to be just that. A rumor.
Needless to say, it was a fight that was well won by Hillary (even though
I wanted Bernie to beat the pants off of her).
I knew Cruz would lose New York. He
is a very conservative guy running in a liberal State and people still have
that comment on New York "values" on their minds. Kasich of
course, with Cruz being unpopular in New York, became the anybody but Trump
vote candidate. So his coming in second really means nothing in my
opinion and the news really said nothing about him. Trump overall is the
big winner obviously as he took nearly all the delegates and is another step
closer to the nomination. The people who are running his campaign and
helping him to be more Presidential really are doing a good job with respect to
overall image, and he deserved to win (especially as New York is his home State
which certainly helped).
Conclusion: The fight unfortunately is not
over. Bernie Sanders will fight all the way to the end which may split
his party and Trump, Cruz and Kasich look set to eventually go to the
Convention where Kasich will likely, if things stay the same, be pushed out of
the running completely. This is going to be a very interesting election
year and I look forward to an exhausting November election where I earn my pay
check making sure each and every voter in my election district gets their votes
counted. I may not agree with the turn out, but hell, your vote is your
voice and I will defend it with glee.
