a form of vote suppression that discouraged turnout.

why did you go with Hillary? It is well known Martin has no desire to support Hillary. Why are you doing it? Just seems odd.

For what it's worth, I started supporting Governor O'Malley when he unveiled the best veteran's affairs platform of any candidate this year. I switched back to Clinton after he suspended because Sanders has an absolutely abysmal record on these issues.

She spent a lot of time supporting her candidate rather than railing against Sanders while every other O'Malley supporter spent most of their time defending Mrs Clinton.

I'll keep that in mind next time I try to form a complex worldview of politics.

... nope. I got nothing. But what I can tell you is that this shows his campaign has NO RESPECT for the party, for the party RULES, and no regard for the fact that the party rules are completely LEGAL.

It's a desperate attempt. It's a campaign that's engaging in the exact "dirty tricks" that their candidate is supposed to be against.

Nobody is being disenfranchised. They had ample opportunity to register properly, but they didn't. Whose fault is that?

Play by the rules, or don't play at all.

No do-overs.

No changing the rules in the middle of the game.

No mulligans.

No re-deals. Play the hand you've got ... or FOLD!

allow it. It is how the Party wanted it. I think that's daft, but that's the Party's choice there. The Party demanded it.
