there will be few, if any arrests for voter fraud. Nor will there be any for "electoral fraud" either.

Every state Bernie loses it's because he was cheated out of it.. Don't you know that?

He'd have 100% of the popular vote if it wasn't for meanie Hillary and her constant cheating.

I've been a member since 2004.

But there's the fantasy again. It's HAS to be cheating right? Zero chance that I would just be a normal person supporting a candidate I like.. Nope, I must be a paid mole....

I mean truly delusional at this point. Everytime he loses it's because of some nefarious plot. They have no idea how many people are getting so pissed at him and his supporters for their sore loser bullshit it's going to be difficult to get them out to vote in Nov if they cheat and overturn the will of the majority of Democrats to give him the nomination.

Wal-mart BoD in the 1980s, loved DADT/DOMA, voted for the Iraq War, calls black people racist things like super predators, gets endorsed by the Koch and Dick Cheney, view Nancy Reagan as a pioneer for HIV/AIDS and calls Kissinger her mention.

With a track record like that, you're a DINO or Republican Lite. . .and Republicans know you cheat if you can't win.

Bernie up by 5500 at the hour mark. (Normally it's called by then as the trend is established and a good percentage was counted.) Not this time. All of a sudden his lead was 500, then 1500, then he was losing by 2k. 15 minutes later he was up by 2500. And ended up losing by a small percentage.

Of all the primaries, this one took extremely long, and the fluctuation of the numbers was absurd.

I thought is was quite suspicious.

Procedural and legal questions would be SOP for an election day, I would think. Why are these being classified as fraud?
