Election Fraud Special Report! (You Won't Believe This)

In the new episode of Redacted Tonight, Lee Camp covers the results of the primary election. And it’s not good news. Exit polls which are an indicator of functioning democratic elections essentially gave the United States a failing rating. Elections’ boards are desperately struggling to explain themselves as peoples ballots go uncounted and the voting machines don’t seem to be working.

THINK BEFORE YOU LEAP! Unauthorized = Illegal?

I've been reading this morning some posts on the findings of DNC joint investigation of the data breach. The glee-dripping proclamations of Sanders being a thief. Boil that dust speck!!!

Very serious accusations.

Reading the DNC report of the investigation, I see it nowhere conflates unauthorized use with an illegal nature of that use. Two different things. For instance, someone might post a picture of you on FB unbeknownst to you. Its a friend, you're at the same party. You look happy! Yay! No harm, no foul. Now, someone might do the same maliciously (taken from a different angle with bbq sauce dripping from your mouth down your cleavage for instance), and you could sue.

The use of said photo makes it legal or not. They are separate issues.

If you want to make unauthorized use and illegal use the same thing - You have just condemned your candidate for the unauthorized use of a private server.

THINK BEFORE YOU LEAP!!!

One district full of college kids ran out of their 150 provisional ballots early this morning. They are being directed to other polls. They are waiting, as of now, for additional ballots...

Billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer's super PAC launched a $25 million youth voter drive on Monday in seven political battleground states to help elect candidates that champion climate change policies in November's general election.

Steyer's NextGen Climate super PAC, a political group that raises funds to boost candidates with strong environmental platforms, said the campaign aims to boost turnout of millennials, who have become one of the largest potential voter groups.

In the lead-up to the November general election, NextGen will deploy hundreds of organizers across over 200 colleges to register young voters and facilitate on-campus voting.

"We are determined that they will be a difference maker," Steyer told reporters on a conference call.

Thinking down ticket -

assuming Hillary wins the nomination - her path to the GE will definitely have to deal with all the Sanders supporters voting downticket. And, if she wants a strong house, she'll have to support them (blue states where they can win where sanders was yuge) BUT

can they take her super pac money? the bundled money? Or will she keep her promises with all the super delegates that will also need VERY BIG $ support to counter act the disenfranchised Bernie supporters who may hold their nose for Hillary but still want their revolution?

And what about DWS? Should she resign? Should Obama replace her with Tulsi Gabbard before November?

This is all too fascinating.

Howard Dean: ['I'm getting all these messages and tweets'] It's not helpful

First off, they are NOT from Bernie, which he also said.
Second, why repeat this attack on MSM? Why drive the wedge further?

So ya, Howard, it is not helpful to the party that you continue to remark on 'attacks' towards you from Bernie supporters.

Who is getting personal here?

About floppyboo

Let me get this out of the way first: I am a Canadian. Half Canadienne, Half Norwegian. I am a woman. I endeavor to keep my posts objective. My slant is definitely towards a democracy that works on a meritocracy that is based, ideally, on a starting point of a level playing ground and a fair kick at the can, no matter your passion, so long as it embodies fairness and justice to all the peoples of the earth, and of course, to mother earth herself. Thank you for helping me learn more through the dialogue here on DU.
