Latest BS Poutrage: Every State That Hillary Is Set To Win Engaged In Voter Fraud

Especially those with high delegate counts.

It started who knows when. AZ was the first concerted outcry as the Clinton machine's vote suppression efforts enlisted state Rs in AZ to disenfranchised BS supporters and no one else.

Next came the warnings to check your registration if you live in CA or NY, because vast purges of BS supporters are taking place in those states (one BSer on FB told me they were checking FB profiles to learn who supported Bernie, then sending their names to the state election boards to be purged. Seriously. The guy said that.)

Now, it's WI as well. WI probably should have set off alarms before CA, but the low-information BSers couldn't be bothered to check the calendar to learn what new Hillary evil was next on the schedule.

The BSers are knocking themselves out over this one. They know BS can't win these big states, so they're building their excuse to not vote for Hill in the GE and not support her when she's elected.

It isn't a campaign one should be very proud of. I wonder how Sanders will be received back in the Senate when this is all over--heck--I wonder how his Democrat colleagues manage to deal with him now, but then I guess they have practice working with the likes of Cruz.

lies and vote their beliefs. Bernie is ok, but how about some of the other leaders who might catch their fancy? Like their twins onn the far right, with so little regard for the importance of truth, they are easy pickings for anyone who goes after them with a little charisma and the right song.

a loss in New York and the states that follow. Apparently, is that the Clinton Campaign stole Bernie's voter data during one of the intrusions where his staff took data and then started changing party registration. So you have to give it to them. They've managed to bridge two conspiracy theories into an even bigger one.

The only reason for such a call is because you felt that Bernie was hurt by the process. That implies that Hillary somehow had something to do with it.

knew there would be big problems regarding shutting down precincts when voting day came around.

Of course, the BS fans are blaming Hillary because they blame her for everything.. guess what?.. they're like the little boy who cried "Wolf!".. no one pays attention to them anymore.

They can just go the way of Susan Sarandon and throw the Planet overboard.. we can do this without them... who needs their bullshit?

In Wisconsin over this and the blame is being laid at SOS Clinton's feet?

Do they not realize that this is Scott Walker's state, he rules with an iron fist, he's won fair and square twice, and the law was about the GE?

The fix is in for the GE - Scott Walker has not one fuck to give about Democratics in his state - or his assery wouldn't run it's course up/down/left/right.

Looking ahead, just two of the remaining state contests are caucuses, in Wyoming and North Dakota, and the big primaries ahead include states such as New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, where more than one in 10 residents are black.

Sanders predicted he would "do well" in Wisconsin, which holds the next primary on April 5, and has "a real shot in New York," which holds its primary on April 19, "and then we go out to California." The Golden State votes on June 7, the final big primary day.


I don't think Sanders is going to do well in NY - or NJ.

I just don't.

If he wins Wyoming in a Caucus - in state that as of 2015 had 586,107 people with a self identified race of of white people at 92% - Kudos to him. I actually believe he is going to win Wyoming.
http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/56


Now compare that to my 'home community' - that I lived in for 30 years prior to moving to NJ. I do not believe for one minute he can win Monroe County (Rochester NY is the county seat) which has 749,606 people at 77% self indentified as white - http://www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PST045215/36055,00 and who has been sending Louise Slaughter to Washington DC since I was in University 20 years ago.

The same people will be voting for Clinton in the primary that keep voting for Louise.

their registration before the state deadline, so they're now lying and saying they did change their registration way back in Februtember, but the state screwed up, and deliberately so.

They can't offer any proof that they made the change, so why not glom onto the meme that they're being cheated? Absolves them of responsibility for their own mistakes and indifference.

Pointing out the pattern (yell about voter fraud in every state they lose) is enough to throw doubt on it. Pointing out real problems they didn't bring up (in states he won) is enough to douse the fire.

Let them prove their accusations--and prove that it would have appreciably changed anything, for that matter.

Should AZ's voting be looked into? Yes. Did it change the outcome? No--Clinton won both in massive mail-in voting and in turnout on election day.
