WI and the vote

Here are the polls for Wisconsin. They are in a statistical tie.

http://heavy.com/news/2016/04/wisconsin-democratic-polls-2016-early-latest-current-polling-numbers-primary-favorite-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-dem/

You know what I think that means? Hillary wins Wisconsin. Let's face it, Bernie wins caucuses but it seems that Hillary wins primary states - states where people vote on machines.

Here is the Sane Progressive today and I believe what she is saying is true:



Now I don't know if the Sanders campaign is worried about this, but something sure seems fishy. When the exit polls show that Bernie won, Hillary wins. Yes, people will accuse me of putting on my but it ALWAYS goes in Hillary's favor when have these primaries. I don't believe that is possible - sorry.

I think they have learned a lot from their friends on the Republican side. This thread may be alerted on and even closed but these are MY thoughts and it looks like I'm not the only one who is thinking this way.

Just please remember this thread if all of a sudden at the end of the night, things look close and Bernie may win, but ALL of a sudden - whoosh! Hillary takes it by a nose!!

Years ago when this type of stuff was happening with the Repubs winning, EVERYONE on this site saw it, KNEW it was happening and everyone was outraged. Now if you mention that hey - it looks like it is happening again only with the Dems - "alert!! How DARE you! Proof! Proof!! You liar! Tin foil hat!" Democracy is inconvenient.

I hope Sanders has lots of people on the ground and are actually watching the votes, especially at the end of the night.

I'm not preventing people from voting but if we wait to speak up until all of the primaries are over, it will be too late!

Bernie is filling stadiums in WI and Hillarian is filling nothing so I don't know how in the world anyone can buy results that are so obviously flipped.
