Meaning to win 100 you have to put up 750.

But regardless of result, I think it's very important to stand up for the right of people to vote without interference. Unfortunately, that conviction is not universally shared.

Even if Sanders wins he really gets nothing out of it, assuming the remaining vote doesn't break heavily his way, of course. This is good news, especially in light of the trouncing he's taking Down South.

Small towns more likely to go for Bernie and a number of tonier towns more likely to go for Clinton remain.

I'm calling it for Clinton. Worcester is the second biggest city in New England and will likely go to her. Lawrence is a fairly big city as well and will surely go to Clinton.

Wed Mar 2, 2016, 01:23 AM

Which leads to the question: what kind of voting does Mass. have?

electronic non-tracible corporate-owned voting machines OR paper ballots that
can be recounted as needed.

That is a HUGE difference .. hell the final results were within like a 1.5% difference,
according to the 'official' results.

NOTE: EXIT POLLS are the international gold standard for detecting election fraud.

Exit polls reflect.

I have no idea why that would be!!

There was a time in our country when this did not happen so regularly. It was the time before we had computers "counting" our votes.

We'll have to see if Bernie continues to outperform Hillary versus corporate polling in Caucus states while Hillary continues to outperform Bernie HEAVILY (versus already skewed corporate polling) in many states where the computers count our votes.

For the record, I do not believe Hillary really won Virginia by 30 points. I am all over this state for my business, and it just does not resonate with what I have seen over the past few months.
