(46,179 posts)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?

(54,102 posts)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!

Oh, there wasn't any.
The OP stands.
Everyone should be allowed to vote. Period. End of discussion.

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.

(8,168 posts)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.

(9,289 posts)Does dishonest campaigning count as cheating?
I don't know whether fraud or voter suppression has played a significant role.
