Per MSNBC it was Bernie who requested decrease in PR polling places

[boston bean]

Because the Sanders campaign could not get enough poll workers to staff each location.

Hmmmmmmmm.

[bravenak]

1. Seems like somebody is trying to disenfranchise our brown brothers and sisters.

We need an investigation!

[workinclasszero]

26. No kidding!

Why do they hate everything south of Vermont?

[bravenak]

28. Confederacy

[workinclasszero]

35. Oh right

How could I forget.

Southern states and now territories even with large groups of PoC.

They seem to have a big problem with that.

[bravenak]

38. It Is our master/servant mentality

Hopefully somebody can save us

[workinclasszero]

39. Hillary will save us all from a terrible mistake

a Sanders presidential run would be!

[bravenak]

40. Thank all that exists!!!

I'd hate four years of Trump and Trump humpers.

[workinclasszero]

42. It scary to even think about that

Imagine a SCOTUS packed with knuckle dragging teabaggers for the next 20 years or so.

Oh hell naw!

[bravenak]

43. Hell naw!!!

[msanthrope]

2. dupe. nt

[seabeyond]

8. Dupe? As in misinformation? Because before I say anything, I really want to know it is true. Nt

[msanthrope]

11. Already posted. nt

[seabeyond]

12. Ty. I haven't seen that for a while and didn't remember what it meant, lol. My brain

is getting old. Thanks

[Fresh_Start]

3. Why would the state allow that to happen to its citizens

outrageous that any candidate would request to make it more difficult for voters to vote

[Number23]

4. I agree. That is an excellent point.

Have no idea why Puerto Rico would have gone along with that.

[joshcryer]

13. My guess they didn't want to ruffle feathers.

Got to allow impartial observers from all interested parties.

Here's what happens if Sanders doesn't have counters:

"Sanders campaign not allowed to have observers at 200 polling places!"

So they just agreed to do it.

[Number23]

14. The endless kow towing to this man is unprecedented. He is not only losing but losing grandly

but somehow, his demands only seem to be increasing.

[joshcryer]

15. What unfortunate is that this will affect the turnout significantly.

All because Clinton supporters can't be trusted to count paper ballots.

[AuntPatsy]

6. A must read article......breaking,and even more outrageous than you might think,

http://www.latinorebels.com/2016/06/03/is-the-us-government-preparing-for-political-violence-in-puerto-rico/

[JimDandy]

32. Article has nothing to do with OP's claim about polling places.

Just so people know...

Bookmarked to read later, though.

[AuntPatsy]

41. I understand that, I'm horrified that I was so ignorant as to what PRs average Citizen is

going through, I just got finished watching a video on the current PR political landscape by a Daily Show type English guy , I couldn't seem to add that but I'm just so horrified by so much horrific events occurring daily world wide and it just makes no sense how we allow it all I guess it's just too many things to fix

[RandySF]

7. Primaries are run by the parties in PR.

[JimDandy]

30. The story doesn't even make sense. Sanders wins when there is huge turnout.

I doubt this story will turn out to be true.

[seabeyond]

5. No fuckin' way. No way. Damn, if this is true, what garbage we have put up with from this man. Nt

[puffy socks]

9. what?!! after all the bellyaching from Bernie about

disenfranchising voters?

[DesertRat]

10. Puerto Rico Democratic Party is blaming Sanders for lines and confusion

The quote is from Liza Ortiz, National Committeewoman of the Democratic Party of Puerto Rico:

[Starry Messenger]

17. k&r

[okasha]

18. Well, now.

Well, well.

Caught in flagrante.

[AgingAmerican]

19. Translation: The Hillary campaign insisted on closing the PR polling places

In areas that might go for Sanders, just as has happened in state after state after state. This is because it is her DESTINY!!

[NanceGreggs]

20. Link? n/t

[George II]

22. Totally false. The Sanders campaign insisted on it because they couldn't muster up enough workers.

[TwilightZone]

23. You're not fooling anyone.

And this one isn't going to be easy to explain away. Unlike most of the claims that Sanders supporters have made re: voter suppression, this one actually happened.

[AgingAmerican]

25. Translation: Hillary campaign caught committing election fraud once again

Panic ensues, OP posted. Pearls clutched.

[hrmjustin]

27. I know this is hard for you.

Here is a hug.

[AgingAmerican]

31. Two days ago, DNC/Hillary were accused of election fraud in PR

Hillary supporters spend the last two days claiming the polling stations were closed to do "Budget cuts".

That lie falls apart, so they do this.

We have seen this same pattern play out for the last year. Hillary/DWS is running the dirtiest campaign, Republican OR Democratic, in HISTORY.

[hrmjustin]

34. .

[William769]

21. Kick & highly Recommended!

[DebDoo]

24. What's the over/u Dee on how long it'll take to find out this is not true?

[Gothmog]

33. WOW

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. Because they were not certified

Bernie Sanders’s campaign is accusing Puerto Rico’s Democratic Party officials of fraud in the territory’s presidential primary.

The campaign’s head of Hispanic voter efforts, Betsy Franceschini, told Caribbean Business in an interview that Sanders officials were initially denied access to prisons to help inmates vote.

“Our Bernie Sanders officials were never certified. We had 40 officials we submitted in time for the prisons. Not one of them was certified, while all of theirs [Hillary Clinton’s] went in. Attorney Manny Suárez had to go in order for us to be let in. This is a great fraud,” Franceschini said.

And does Sanders have any authority? Like Nevada this will turn to be a lie and I will tell you this, while masterful in the machine politics this is revealing something very ugly, Son't worry, when the other side does it in November, I will scream at you CONSPIRACY. and then point to you why election integrity matters all the time, not just when your preferred candidate is doing well.

Good luck in November, I mean it.

[MariaThinks]

44. this is typical of what i'm finding in bernie's behavior. it would be good to see

something in writing

[Bluenorthwest]

45. Is that the MSNBC that reported 'That's not Bernie in those photos'?

Not known for their voracity which is why their viewership is abysmal.
