and Bernie's data were submitted at the same fucking time. And it looks like the Democratic Party actually fucking gathered signatures to keep Bernie off the ballot?
Now I feel sort of like the DNC was hoping this would just slide by. The guy who submitted the complaint to keep Bernie off the ballot should have been reprimanded, not supported.

Is that a public thing?

(14,255 posts)6. Yes, but I forget who it is, activist, Hillary supporter.
The news keeps saying it was just a mix-up, but the papers for BOTH were submitted at the same time, and only Bernie was challenged.
Was reading an article about this in the Washington Post - and they managed to make it a hit piece against Bernie.
