Just a quickie with some good news from NY about voter registration:
While the registration period for voters in the state of New York has now passed, the surge of last minute registers seems to bode well for Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
In the 10 day period between March 10th and 20th, close to 41,000 new voters, energized by a platform that many of them can relate to, took the next step in getting involved with the political process. Nearly half of those have never voted before, a Demographic that Sanders has dominated by large margins in states all over the country that have already voted.

New York’s online registration system saw close to 14,000 people register on Friday March 18, which set a one-day record. Registrations closed on March 25 and no numbers are available yet for that day but the push to get people registered was picking up even more steam leading up to the 25th. (my emphasis)

Wonder what those final numbers are going to be. The New York primary will be very interesting indeed. For Bernie, it’s going to be all about the hard work of GOTV!
