What could or should be done about Bill Clinton's actions

in suppressing the vote/ interfering with the vote at several polling stations in Massachusetts? It's beyond infuriating, it reeks, as someone said, and is an FU to Bernie voters. Shameful.

Apparently electioneering within 150 feet of a polling station is a felony, although probably a very minor one.

I can't believe they expect to get most Bernie voters to vote for them after they have made it their campaign strategy to make the Bernie voters/supporters BRAND toxic.

So fucking stupid and pretty much unforgivable.

Hell if cheating were a crime he would have been locked up 20 years ago. Yeah, I went there. Fuck him.
