To clap with glee because YOU think--or want US to think--that these are Clinton votes, when the issue is NOT who the vote is for, but that the voter was DENIED the right to vote, just seems so typical of Clinton supporters' comments here at DU: simple-minded, rah-rah for your candidate and no respect for democratic principles.

We've heard nothing--NOTHING!--from Clinton supporters about the 126,000 voters denied the right to vote in Brooklyn, Bernie Sanders' birthplace and his home town through high school. That bothers you not at all. We've heard nothing from Clinton supporters here at DU on the massive disenfranchisement in Arizona, which was also hurt likely Sanders voters (because of the big discrepancy between early voting and same day voting). At least the Clinton campaign had the grace to join the lawsuit on that debacle. But as for Clinton supporters here at DU? Not a peep. It appears that you don't care, because these not likely Clinton votes. It's a kind of greed.

I would defend your right to vote to the death. That's how strongly I feel about it. I would even defend a Trump voter's right to vote to the death. That is what America is all about. We defend each other's rights! That's how it works. But a true sickness has infected our democracy with the Bush junta, which made it acceptable to massively suppress votes, and acceptable for the Supreme Court to interfere with elections, and acceptable to have PRIVATE corporations counting our votes with 'TRADE SECRET' code, in every state in this country--a highly insecure and dangerous system.

Do you care about these things? All you can do is squeak your little "Yah Clinton!" Do you have any idea how you come across?
