(660 posts)hear every case designed to expand voting rights. But, I also know that, other things being equal, the earlier a case gets filed, the sooner it gets decided.

(92,217 posts)need to go is to their polling place and exchange the ballot for a Democratic one. This really isn't rocket science. California is very flexible. In fact up until midnight yesterday they could have registered online as a Democrat and still would be able to vote in the California primary
All last weekend they could have registered or re-registered on line, and if they already received a ballot if they registered as NPP and received a non-partisan ballot, just exchange it for a Democratic one at the polling place on Election Day
Not voting rights have been violated.

(10,014 posts)We all support expanded voting rights and the repugs are the one blocking that, not the Democratic Party.
This is about:
1) Sanders' disregard for voting rules,
2) Sanders' constant need for an outrage a day,
3) Sanders' setting up the meme that the 'system is rigged' when he loses, and
4) Sanders' attempting to delegitimize Hillary's nomination.

(30,058 posts)there was plenty of time to see what applied to each state, failure to do the necessary is on the person who finds themselves needing to file a law suit about their failure.

(37,449 posts)apparently getting off the couch to actually register is even harder......wait they could have had their Cheetos and did it on-line.
annavictorious
(934 posts)who accidentally registered with the Independent Party thinking that it meant independent, i.e. no party affiliation.
They're inadvertent members of a right wing organization, and they won't be able to vote on June 7.

(16,954 posts)locally in my Orange County area a few weeks ago talking about registering as many students on campuses as they could for Bernie. The way the interview was going, this didn't surprise that they tried this stunt. They are just trying to hide behind the "Establishment" by saying the ballot was confusing, but the real goal was to register as many young students as possible past the deadline.
