Related: About this forumWas the Indiana primary rigged?
Considering that whenever the polls get it wrong, the shouts of "it was rigged!" Are rampant here, I guess we have to ask- was this one rigged? Should it be thrown out?

(42,862 posts)Longer voting hours would have been nice. The polls closed at 6 for ALL voters, not just Bernie voters. At least they have early voting that a LOT of people participated in. Electing Democrats in down-ballot races will be a good first step in helping to gain strength in state politics and decision making.

If its the latter then:
STOP IT

Its bad for our democracy.

(3,133 posts)Why do you only poll one party, when three parties can vote for your party candidate? This is why he wins in open primaries. Indy's go to Bernie, overwhelmingly. Some repubs. So if they are allowed to vote in the dem primary, why wouldn't you poll them????
They try to deflate Bernie, 'he's always losing'. Then you get a result like IN.
It's just party shenanigans. You can't manipulate a vote when three parties are voting in both primaries. So it's interesting Hillary win, where it's just dems voting, and all the caging, etc. So if it's the republicans who are doing the cheating as Hillary supporters say in NY, then it must be her, they want to run against.

(13,340 posts)Of course, I think 95% of the "FRAUD!" claims are delusional bullshit. The other 5% are part of Republican efforts to suppress Democratic votes in general.

(110,159 posts)other than Democrats voted. But hey.... I guess we are entitled to yell.... Sanders stole. The way it works, just vlatant false accusations if Clinton wins.
