(154,021 posts)Bernie Sanderss campaign is accusing Puerto Ricos Democratic Party officials of fraud in the territorys presidential primary.
The campaigns head of Hispanic voter efforts, Betsy Franceschini, told Caribbean Business in an interview that Sanders officials were initially denied access to prisons to help inmates vote.
Our Bernie Sanders officials were never certified. We had 40 officials we submitted in time for the prisons. Not one of them was certified, while all of theirs went in. Attorney Manny Suárez had to go in order for us to be let in. This is a great fraud, Franceschini said.

(10,500 posts)She is beating Sanders among Latinos everywhere, she is crushing him in PR by a landslide, and she won it overwhelmingly against Obama in 2008.

(154,021 posts)election integrity, you either for it all the time, or you don't. I know you guys don't So in November I will not join you when you cry over that, but I will join people who do... all the time. Not just when my guy or gal is not doing well.

(110,159 posts)Another solution. I am sure we will hear the whys and previous experience with Sanders, he dropped the ball.

(154,021 posts)they hand counted, no machines involved. YAY. Who certifies the observers for both campaigns? Did MSNBC explain this to you. But to those of us born in other countries where these are time honored tactics it looks very familiar, That could be oh Guanajuato 2014, when the PRD did not get enough observers certified by the by the good folks of the state electoral office (in that case it is the state, not a party).
How is your Spanish

(3,072 posts)that asked to have the polling places closed to hurt Sanders by suppressing her own voters and then blaming sanders who actually would benefit from said suppression. The plan is so simple I'm surprised no one saw it coming....

MinnesotaRob
(53 posts)and self-deleted when I re-read your post, but here is what I wrote anyway for people who do think it sounds plausible (or have already decided that it is true):
What is remotely plausible about candidate closing down 75% of polls in an election that they are competing in simply by asking for it? On what planet does this make sense? Whatever planet that is, Republicans win every election all the time simply by saying "please". If you're not just a troll and have even a shred of good intention, seriously ask yourself how this makes any sense at all, and if you figure it out please let me know.
