You want to discuss fraud?

Too bad the Denver Post already exposed the DNC and Clinton campaign attempting to defraud the Colorado results. 10 precincts of at least 4% of Sanders' votes.
Just enough to give her control of the state delegation when superdelegates would give her more overall delegates than him even though he won Colorado by 68%.



While the Democratic Party knew about the discrepancy a week after the caucus, it chose not to correct the public record, according to the “Denver Post.” For some reason, the Hillary Clinton campaign knew about the problem, but the Sanders campaign was not informed until late Monday by the “Denver Post.”

The corporate monopoly owned mainstream media can lie, or spread lies by others, all they want because there is absolutely nothing to stop them. If you own it all, what is there to worry about? Nothing! Lie away! The ever present media teaches Americans every single day that there is no such as truth. Or, maybe even more to the point, it teaches them that honesty is for suckers. How convenient for corrupted Democratic Party.

is that the Republicans have been suppressing voters the hard way all these years? If only they had known that all they needed to do was ask nicely and they'd shut down 75% of the polls, and they would do it on behalf of a candidate competing in that very election.

The most shocking part of this isn't this smear itself, it's that many people actually seemed to buy it. The claim is just so ludicrous, I mean how one can come to the conclusion that this is even plausible is just... I'm just at a loss for words

univision, they still do news, and Poltico shut that one down so fast it is not even funny.


Sander’s campaign is accusing Puerto Rico’s Democratic Party officials of fraud in the territory’s presidential primary.

The campaign’s 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.


http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/...cials-of-fraud

and...

La situación, alegaron funcionarios electorales, se produjo porque en un principio se habían destinado 1,510 centros de votación, pero este domingo sólo hubo 455 disponibles. Contrario a las primarias locales, para las demócratas no se utilizaron las máquinas electrónicas, sino que se utilizó el proceso anterior, que conlleva el escrutinio manual.



http://www.univision.com/nueva-york/...en-puerto-rico

I do not expect you to read Spanish, but when you manually count the votes you need representatives from both parties, in this case the campaigns. The certifying authority is the party. This is very familiar, as in Mexico level corruption familiar and also machine politics in action. But do enjoy that unity, this is not 1992 anymore.

They did a manual vote, Now take a guess who certifies these people? If you guess the party you would be correct. This is machine politics and worthy of the PRI in Mexico.

Clinton's campaign didn't have nearly enough poll watchers either for the 1500 polling locations that normally are open in PR in the Nov GE. In a corrupt move, a PR DNC Dem Party official, who is supposed to be neutral but who is a huge Clinton supporter, sent out a desperate tweet just before election day, begging for Clinton supporters to volunteer to poll watch for her, but not even that plea could raise enough supporters for her.

And earlier this year, the Republican presidential candidates running in the PR Primary could muster enough poll watchers for only 110 of the 1500 polling locations countrywide!

But no one spun a lie after their primary that one of the Republican candidates requested less polling locations.

Desperate Clinton Campaigns F--lying Circus of Flying Chairs...
