I cant help but notice the stark difference between BOTH Democratic candidates and anyone or everyone on the other side.

(20,998 posts)...that was unable to vote in the Arizona primary because of the long lines and delays. She is a Hillary supporter and was so proud that she was going to be able to cast her primary vote that would begin Hillary's journey to the first female POTUS. I informed her that I actually preferred the other candidate, and without missing a beat and without a trace of guile said "isn't it wonderful that we have two such wonderful candidates from our party"?
She was so disappointed that she was not able to vote for "Madame President." I asked why she didn't do early mail-in voting, she replied that voting was always something special for her, that she liked going down to the polling place and casting her ballot on election day. For her, it was part of "the election magic."

(4,176 posts)that will prevent millions of us from voting.
If all of us dont switch our focus from the candidates and onto this problem, we will lose the election.
As much as I want Bernie to be the nominee, I am becoming increasingly aware that regardless of who it is, we may be in trouble.

(2,150 posts)Years ago, I got involved with a national campaign to go with plain paper and get the computers out of it. I've owned and been the CEO of a computer company for decades.
I started with a warning and almost nobody responded. About a year later a small group had formed and I worked with computer scientists from all the major universities, and a handful of acivists.
I have to say that he computer departments of universities only really cared, IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS OF OVER THREE YEARS OF WASTED TIME, in increasing the budgets of their own little fiefdoms.
I do believe that the USA rates LAST on security of voting among at least forty countries. Saw that documented recently, but sorry don't have time to search for the link.

(8,175 posts)Is there anything we can do to help you get Bernie's message out, especially to hispanics?

(8,175 posts)Now, this is from an out of state supporter. So it may be you can only ask for help from in state supporters? Let us know anyway.

(57,936 posts)organize and get out there. There will probably be requests for you to call to California. I hope you will do that when the time comes.

(8,175 posts)Calling is not my forte (I hate phone calls with a passion), but maybe that's why it is important at this moment in time. I wonder if I can do something to reach out to our Hispanic members in my town and see if I can get them to reach out to family members in CA.
I have to do a little research.

(8,175 posts)But I'll see if I can use that in some way.
I don't want to make promises, but if there is some way I can help, damn...I'm there.

(72 posts)Great, great work was done in Wisconsin. I'm in touch with several workers there (I'm a neighbor across Lake Michigan) and those I've heard from today say that the people are very enthusiastic about Bernie and what he's bringing to the campaign.
You folks that pounded doors, pounded the pavement, and pounded your hearts out for Bernie -- it looks as if those efforts did not go unnoticed by the people of Wisconsin. Very well done, indeed.
