在一名联邦法官下令周二恢复选举后，纽约的初选将按原计划在6月举行诉讼之后由前总统候选人杨安泽提交。
杨辍学支持前副总统乔·拜登。拜登目前在初选中无人反对，这使他成为民主党的推定提名人。
源自佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯暂停他的竞选活动纽约州选举委员会决定取消初选。
“当时的目标是避免不必要的社会接触，”纽约证交所的道格拉斯·凯尔纳(Douglas Kellner)在4月份告诉美国有线电视新闻网，“我们的结论是，举行选美初选没有任何意义，它会略微增加选民和投票者的风险。”
由于杨公开宣布暂停竞选，纽约州法律允许他从选票上除名。然而，杨并没有永久终止他的竞选。根据法官阿那利萨·托里斯的决定，杨“相信并期待他的名字仍然会留在即将举行选举的州的选票上。”将他的名字保留在选票上仍将允许选民“通过在即将到来的选举中投票来表达他们的偏好”
在联邦法官周二做出决定后，佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯的名字将保留在纽约州民主党初选的选票上。
杨在4月份的诉讼中表示:“这一史无前例且毫无根据的举动侵犯了原告和纽约州民主党全体选民的权利，据估计，纽约州民主党选民人数超过600万，因为这从根本上剥夺了他们选择下一任美国总统候选人的权利。”。
前总统候选人伯尼·桑德斯也谴责在纽约的投票中取消他的名字。
“没有人要求纽约取消选举，”桑德斯的高级顾问杰夫·韦弗在周一的声明中说。“民主党全国委员会[民主党全国委员会]没有要求这样做。拜登竞选团队没有要求这样做。我们的竞选团队表示，我们希望继续留在选票上。”
新闻周刊联系纽约民主党征求意见。这个故事会随着任何回应而更新。纽约州选举委员会拒绝置评，但表示其律师正在审查该决定。
在她的决定中，托雷斯法官命令纽约州选举委员会“将2020年4月26日合格的总统候选人和代表候选人重新纳入民主党初选，并于2020年6月23日举行初选。”她的决定将让桑德斯有机会在选举中挑选代表。
杨周二在推特上发布了他对法官判决的声明。“我很高兴联邦法官同意剥夺数百万纽约人的投票权是错误的，”杨写道。“我希望纽约选举委员会从这一裁决中重新认识到他们在捍卫我们民主中的作用。”
BERNIE SANDERS GETS CHANCE TO PICK UP NEW YORK DELEGATES, AFTER JUDGE ORDERS DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY RESTORED
Primary elections in New York will take place in June as originally scheduled after a federal judge ordered the election reinstated on Tuesday following a lawsuit filed by former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
Yang dropped out of the presidential race in February, giving his endorsement to former Vice President Joe Biden. Biden is currently running unopposed in the primary cycle, making him the presumptive Democratic nominee.
After Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign, the New York State Board of Elections (NYSBE) decided to cancel the primary.
"At a time when the goal is to avoid unnecessary social contact," Douglas Kellner of the NYSBE told CNN in April, "our conclusion was that there was no purpose in holding a beauty contest primary that would marginally increase the risk to both voters and poll workers."
Since Yang suspended his campaign publicly, a state law allowed New York to remove his name from the ballot. Yang did not, however, permanently terminate his campaign. According to the decision by Judge Analisa Torres, Yang "believed and expected that [his] name would nonetheless stay on the ballot in states with upcoming elections." Keeping his name on the ballot would still allow voters to "express their preferences by voting in the upcoming elections."
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders name will remain on the ballot in New York's Democratic primary after a decision Tuesday by a federal judge.
"This unprecedented and unwarranted move infringes the rights of Plaintiffs and all New York State Democratic Party voters, of which there are estimated to be more than six million, as it fundamentally denies them the right to choose our next candidate for the office of President of the United States," Yang said in the April lawsuit.
Former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders also decried the removal of his name from the ballot in New York.
"No one asked New York to cancel the election," said senior adviser to Sanders Jeff Weaver in a Monday statement. "The DNC [Democratic National Committee] did not request it. The Biden campaign did not request it. And our campaign communicated that we wanted to remain on the ballot."
Newsweek reached out to the New York Democratic Party for comment. This story will be updated with any response. The New York State Board of Elections declined to comment but said its lawyers were reviewing the decision.
In her decision, Judge Torres ordered the New York State Board of Elections to "reinstate to the Democratic primary ballot those presidential and delegate candidates who were duly qualified as of April 26, 2020, and to hold the primary election on June 23, 2020." Her decision will allow Sanders the opportunity to pick up delegates in the election.
Yang released his statement about the judge's decision on Twitter Tuesday. "I'm glad that a federal judge agreed that depriving millions of New Yorkers of the right to vote was wrong," Yang wrote. "I hope that the New York Board of Elections takes from this ruling a newfound appreciation of their role in safeguarding our democracy."
