New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) announced on Wednesday that his office is opening an investigation into alleged voter irregularities during New York’s Tuesday primary.

About 120,000 Democrats suspiciously disappeared from voter rolls in Brooklyn, according to NPR. An analysis of voter data by WNYC found that none of New York City’s other boroughs saw such a significant decline in the number of Democrats and just seven of the state’s 62 counties saw a decrease.

Calvin, both my state's senators are on board, probably thanks to my exertions at your urging.

Actually that last part is a complete lie

“I like the idea of saying, ‘We can do much more,’ because we can,” Biden told The New York Times in an interview published Thursday.

Clinton, a former Obama administration official, has criticized Sanders on the trail for his bold proposals, suggesting that his policies aren’t pragmatic.

“I don’t think any Democrat’s ever won saying, ‘We can’t think that big — we ought to really downsize here because it’s not realistic,’” Biden said. “C’mon man, this is the Democratic Party! I’m not part of the party that says, ‘Well, we can’t do it.’”

Biden, who has said he and President Barack Obama do not plan to endorse in the primary, added that presidents are always told not to push anything they can’t be successful in because that would minimize their authority.

“I completely disagree with that proposition,” he said. “Everything I’ve ever cared about — with the exception of the president’s brilliant passage of the Affordable Care Act — takes time. The only way to get these big things done is talk about them.”
