NEW YORK CANCELS PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY, CITING CORONAVIRUS, AFTER SANDERS CAMP ASKED TO STAY ON BALLOTThe BOE had cited safety concerns as the reason to cancel the election, referring to an amendment signed by Gov. This ruling removed 10 presidential candidates from the ballot, including Sanders and Yang, leaving Joe Biden as the sole candidate. But the Court is not convinced that canceling the presidential primary would meaningfully advance that interest,” Torres added. The BOE voted to cancel the presidential primary elections, but all state-level elections -- including congressional elections -- were not canceled due to health concerns.
