In my Upstate NY county, only the four remaining Repubs are on, while ALL the Democrats appear. Now I’m hearing it’s different in New York City. How can you have a state-wide primary with different candidates in different counties?

I should add that the New York rules have the Board of Elections decide who is a nationally-recognized candidate, and in the Republican primary, those candidates choose their slate of delegates. So now we have dropped out candidates’ delegates still in contention?

Good question! The man in the Albany BOE office told me that NYC was instructed to remove names from the ballot, but they refused. NYC told me that they voted (10 Board members—5 Repub/5 Dem) and they decided to keep all 8 names.
