http://www.dailynewsbin.com/opinion/new-york-judge-shuts-down-sore-loser-antics-of-bernie-sanders-fans/24541/What do you do when you know your preferred candidate cant win fair and square in popular voting? You go running to a judge and demand that the voting rules be changed at the last second so people who arent democrats and didnt bother to register for the democratic primary can come rushing in and ambush the results. But as it turns out they picked the wrong judge to mess with, because Judge Joanna Seybert wasnt having any of it today.
Judge Seybert officially denied the application today for New York voting laws to be changed, a ruling which was always a given. The complainants had no legal standing for their claim, nor would a judge have any legal basis for changing the agreed-upon registration rules. For that matter, there was zero chance that any judge would have altered the rules five hours after voting in the state had already begun. But this complaint was never about winning, as evidenced by the fact that it was filed too late to matter.
Upon figuring out that Bernie Sanders wasnt going to win New York, he and his campaign and their supporters have spent the last days laying the groundwork so when he loses to Hillary Clinton, they can claim she only won by cheating or conspiracy. But if theyre going to spin that, theyll have to make the case that a district judge was somehow in on the conspiracy, because she just ruled that there was no basis for their legal complaint whatsoever.
Good for Hillary which we knew...its almost over with.....

(30,058 posts)which should be followed. We don't need a small group ruling the rest of the nation. There was more to running a campaign than those in charge, lot of responsibilities than just running a few rallies. They took their eye off of the ball.

I also find it wrong for them to use that headline. Voter registration laws are not about Hillary Clinton or for Bernie Sanders.
