should not have such an incompetent system.

We did not like it (many of us) when the first in the nation were two small states which are not representative of the country. Seems that the large state is not much better.

The reporters seem more even-handed.

An economics professor told me that the WSJ articles are usually non-biased but not so for the editorial page.

Bernie is the favored one for Donald and Vlad.

And if a person wanted to drop ballot in mail or in-person they had days to do it.

I think California getting so much of its population to vote and taking longer to count it is just fine with me.

BTW I have no sympathy for the “No Preferred Party” people. Many states don’t let anyone but registered members of a given party vote in primaries. For people who actually care about their voting franchise there were many ways to assure that if they wanted to stay independent they could still vote in Dem primary.

California takes time because they insure that ALL votes are counted, including provisional ballots

Wouldn’t this affect both both equally? Wat am I mission? California steals its own election...where’s the rigged part?

10 will kinda lose any tail wind that he could have had for the primaries and caucuses in between.

By having such a lengthy procedure, California stole its ability of its own election it influence the national stage. It was not that was rigged against Bernie.I think she may be shit stirring

The provisional and mail in ballots so sanders could claim a victory? Instead of carefully counting each one?

As I recall it was sanders that pushed the DNC to have Ca go earlier rather than later.

Problem?

The same is true of WA and Oregon which also have paper ballots that can be mailed in until the last day.

So he loses nothing other than Biden closing the gap with him as more ballots are counted.

On Florida we vote in closed primaries on both the democratic and republican side. Any Non Affiliated person that cares to vote in one of the party primaries should realize that and change registration to that party by the closing date for reregistering.

....as some in Texas or other states.

Long lines, broken machines, glitches are just a part of the game and they have been for years.

The problems in California weren't partisan, voters for all candidates had the same problems.

of long waiting time, yes, as bad as in TX.

as well, many of whom are black, women, working class, older, etc.

we desperately need electoral/voting reform in this country.

the right to vote should be considered sacred in a democracy.

the problem. Florida, a state of over 20 million, uses optical scanners that work well. The only issue with Florida is that it doesn't mandate how much can be on a ballot, making it possible for counties like Broward County to stuff all types of shit on a general election ballot, whereas counties like mine have their own off General elections to addess local issues.

The California Assembly can mandate a standard voting platform, mandate the number of voters per voting machine, and provide state funds to counties to help them changeover their systems to the statewide platform, and mandate that only statewide races or ballot issues show up on General Election ballots or national primary ballots (President, US House, US Senate, Governor).

pooped into their boots.

The reporters are more even-handed, but the Editorial page is strongly Republican.

About a 10 minute wait. Smoozed w/ a couple other Vets working polls. I was too lazy to walk 200 yards to the polling station for 10 days, so I could have just dropped off my ballot but didn't.

WSJ go to hell

Who has benefited the most under Trump? Wall Street and their cronies. I would expect nothing less from the Wall Street Journal. They are trying to sow seeds of division among the Democrats.

While California tries to get as many people as possible to vote, Other states try to stop people from voting. Write some articles about those states.

But wants to complain NOW about this in California. Sanders campaign runs on double standards.

But no candidate was helped or hurt by it.

It appears same day voters and late mail-in voters are trending towards Biden so if all the ballots were somehow counted immediately with no delays, the result would have been better for Biden.

So, Sanders get the lift from that. In April, if after all votes are counted, Biden is the actual winner, he gets no benefit other than he gets more pledged delegates.

I believe that California should go to a statewide optical scanner ballot system, like Florida, only with better software and monitoring to prevent hackers from attacking the system. Put plenty of polling stations everywhere in the state and have them open from 6am-Midnight, seven days per week over the early voting period, staffed by paid staff and paid part-time staff, if volunteers want to be certified to help out, that can be done to a uniform standard. The polls should be open for two solid weeks before Election Day and of course on Election Day. Voters will have 18 hours to vote for 14 days and the normal hours on Election Day, anyone who doesn't get to vote would have only themselves to blame.

They base their claim on the ASSUMPTION that the percent Sanders got will increase compared to the election night numbers. As of today, his lead is shrinking.
