Less than 5% of the population of New York is responsible for the next President of the United States

In a rigged system you cannot accurately measure the desires of a population through voting. New York reinforces this concept with the utmost absurdity. Bernie Sanders is a candidate that did not appear on the national stage until after the first primaries of 2016. Within a matter of 3 months the Sanders campaign has built a popular movement that captured over 40% of the vote of a major insulated state like New York and the only thing to blame is the restrictive requirements of the voter registration mechanism that suppresses the vote.

The Democratic party is not named after anything other than the concept of the general population participating in electing our leaders through voting. To have suppression of the vote as being an argument against the winner is ironic and disturbing.

Having watched the results on a web page that provided a county by county tally of the winners I was amazed that Bernie Sanders won 34 to 14 the number of counties in New York. That's a 2 to 1 margin and he was only defeated in the heavily populated areas of New York. There is no argument that he did not get the overall popular vote, but he was not humiliated and this state was clearly rigged with a voter registration system that closed before Mr. Sanders was even recognized as a candidate. Do the math and the momentum still exist for Bernie.
