(63,185 posts)Two statements are made:
1. A record number of people registered to vote.
2. Fewer people voted in the Democratic primary in 2016 than in 2008.
I'm not sure that I see how those are necessarily incompatible. For instance:
It's entirely possible that many who registered didn't vote in the primary.
It's entirely possible that many who voted in 2008 didn't vote in 2016.
It's entirely possible that many who registered would have voted for Clinton.
It's entirely possible that many who registered are Republicans.
You seem to be suggesting that California experienced massive voter suppression or fraud; if that's not your claim, then please clarify. I would be interested to see what evidence we have of actual voters whose votes didn't make it into the final count.
And while we're at it, Sanders could have taken the state yet still lost to Clinton.
Beyond all of that, your post does nothing to answer my question.
