Special bulletin from Greg Palast
[Los Angeles] It's not some grand conspiracy, but it's grand theft nonetheless. Sen. Bernie Sanders voters will lose their ballots, their rights, by the tens of thousands.

Details like seeing that all votes get counted is what makes Democracy. Otherwise, it's not, and those who don't want to see all votes counted -- even when cast for the opponent -- do not believe in Democracy.

(70,842 posts)A candidate and his campaign should have a ground game that takes into account state election laws. The fact the Sanders failed so miserably is his own fault. It was not stolen...he and his campaign screwed up...amateur hour. Those voters that received the wrong ballot could have taken their ballots to their polling place and exchanged them for the right ballots...they didn't. So it is on Bernie, his campaign and his voters who could not manage to vote properly...it was not stolen...it was bungled.
