Why isn't the Sanders campaign doing anything

about all this massive voter fraud going on? I hear a lot of accusations from his supporters but nothing from the campaign. Why aren't they filing charges?

Why wouldn't she care about voter rights? Because she isn't a principled person.

Twitter is a pretty darn legit news source to say the least.
In fact, it's the quickest way to get the most accurate news. Pretty incredible to watch stuff unfold yesterday with Belgium albeit damn scary.

What I don't understand though is why so many Hillary supporters seem oblivious to new media. It's like using an Atari to play Counter Strike.

Today the argument is that the campaign must know the truth of the situation and their behavior is an indicator of it.

Before the argument was that the campaign must know the truth of the situation and their behavior is an indicator of the opposite.

I provided an example to demonstrate why you are changing no minds.

I was appalled when I heard that the number of polling places had been shrunk, and all of the people who were turned away because of registration snafus.

This ought to be a DEMOCRATIC PARTY ISSUE regardless of who won or lost.

And BOTH campaigns ought to be proactively looking at otehr upcoming states to prevent a repeat.

Speaking of Arizona, I remember reporter Greg Palast did a piece on how they scrub voter rolls and such.
