"The election is not all over on Tuesday night. At the end of the nominating process no candidate will have enough pledged delegates to call the campaign a victory. Super delegates make their final decision on who to support at the convention on July 25th. Super delegates can and have changed their candidate choice in the past. In other words the Democratic convention will be a contested convention."

Puerto Rico Slashes Polling Places For The Democratic Primary, Laying The Groundwork For Chaos
by Alice Ollstein
June 3, 2016
In early May, Puerto Rico’s Democratic Party announced that more than 1,500 polling places would be available for the island’s June 5 Democratic primary. A few weeks later, they slashed that number to just over 430 — a reduction of more than two thirds.
In 2008, the island’s last competitive Democratic primary, there were more than 2,300 polling places.
Some are warning of long lines and voters left unable to access the ballot box, as an estimated 700,000 Puerto Ricans will vote this Sunday, and polling places will only be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m..
Worse, many voters will have to visit two separate locations to cast ballots in the presidential primary and the local primaries held the same day. Voter turnout and engagement has for years been much higher on the island than in the 50 U.S. states, but these changes may present too heavy a burden for low-income residents who lack transportation options or who need to work.
And Democratic Party officials oppose voter suppression .... except when they engage in it.
If this isn't massive voter suppression I'd like to know what is. It's so blatant! Eliminating more than two thirds of polling places and than requiring voters to visit two separate polling locations to cast ballots!This sound like something the Republicans would pull. But no, it's Democratic Party officials who support Hillary Clinton!

Hillary is in California for 5 days because she's secured the nomination! Believe me.
Everything is just peachy. Nothing to see here. Move along now. The election is in the bag!
