Here is the postcard request for a CA ballot that the people who filed the lawsuit

argue is too hard for Bernie voters to figure out.

Do they really think non-affiliated Bernie voters can't figure out that they need to check the box in the upper-left corner indicating that they want a Democratic ballot?

Or is the lawsuit a way of getting free publicity because Bernie's running out of money?'

By at least 25 people...and not all are voting for either Bernie or Hillary...I know shocking, but two other parties hold modified primaries...and this has been a common complaint for oh years.

And if it's been a common complaint for years, then why did the Bernie campaign suddenly decide it was an emergency a few days before the deadline?

Checking the box on the form....exactly what you were complaining about in your OP.

Second, you still have missed this phrase:

but two other parties hold modified primaries

the ballot. They really just want to shuttle more Bernie voters in past today's deadline and blame it on something semi-official.

For someone claiming to be for "The People", he and his campaign have no problem subverting Democracy so he can get an unearned advantage. If Hillary sued a state to accommodate her voters, there would be riots.
