Bernie Sanders: Alabama Republicans are 'cowards' trying to 'suppress' vote

"Republican cowards all across the country, including Alabama, are very clearly trying to win elections by suppressing the vote and making it harder for low-income people, minorities, young people and seniors to vote. That has to change. Anyone 18 years of age or older should be automatically registered to vote,"
Sanders said in a statement he tweeted Sunday.

is has to assume they have to win the election 55% to 45%, if only two are in the race.

If 150 million vote then 5% of that is 7.5 million and it is easy to see how they can steal or prevent that many votes.
