No matter what candidate wins, no voter should be disenfranchised, or locked out of their own primary.

THAT is what you need to understand. I'm not sure why this is so difficult to "get."

Unless you think that democracy, and voting rights, aren't important as long as your candidate wins?

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is a newbie calling another DUer a sock puppet. We're through the looking glass,folks.

Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Truth is the defense
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Simply stupid comments don't rate hiding. Sock puppet? All other replies are accurate about voter abuse by Az.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Easy hide. Talk about issues, not DUers.

Explanation: VulgarPoet contributes a lot since s/he has been here. And I agree with the assessment.

Nobody purporting to believe in the things this board once purported to believe in, should applaud five hour lines to vote, the withdrawal of polling places in heavily Democratic neighborhoods, etc.

who obviously are rehearsing vote suppression for the November general election with their poll closings.

And if Sanders votes were suppressed in dem neighborhood poll closings, so too were Clinton votes. Duh!

Funny how that works huh?

Do you see Hillary supporters screaming fraud/dirty tricks when she loses a state?

Nope.

Everyone can see what Bernie supporters are doing. I hope democrats in NY, PA, NJ and elsewhere with upcoming primaries see it too.

I don't like it, but it's understandable that those who support the candidate who is behind, but not by much, want to find ways to give him that extra little boost so he can win.

Does dishonest campaigning count as cheating?

I don't know whether fraud or voter suppression has played a significant role.
