According to todays report by 'The Inquisitor" the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors heard testimony of vote system irregularities so irregular one vote supervisor said it reeked of fraud and he considered refusing to put his name to certify.
Testimonies given (as noted in the story - HERE ) include mulitple accounts of switching anomalies, family of 4 all being switched to a party they never heard of, and the lack of proper ballots being printed.
Furthermore, there was a million new regustered voters, and, accirding to CBS, the largest chunk were new voters 18 to 29 years of age.
Currently, Hillary leads Bernie, in L.A. County, by 170,000 votes with over 368, 000 provisional ballots remaining.
Unfortunately the article has a little bit of bad math, in reporting that Bernie needs to take 193 delegates away from Clinton, to take lead in July Convention.
Neither Hillary, nor Bernie will have anything " finalized" come the start of the Democratic Convention.
In the meantime, a wildcard GOP race is of serious concern, as the powers that be, in the GOP, are planning a whole new effort of the "Dump Trump" variety.
Can Hillary Clinton beat Mitt?
Bernie surely can!
Here's a video of the Board of Supervisors meeting.

(30,247 posts)Hillary's pledged delegate advantage was large enough to have sustained a loss in CA.

We're Still Here for a reason.

(30,247 posts)the will of the people? Obama was ahead by a very narrow pledged delegate advantage. Notwithstanding, a large number of super delegates switched to him because he was ahead in pledged delegates.
This meme on DU that has been perpetuated thanks to Sanders, is utter nonsense. No, he will NOT be the nominee. Hillary has won by a large margin.
By now, this argument has gone from funny to pathetic. Do some of you really think that super delegates are going to have an epiphany and nominate the person who lost the primaries??????

Have a gander at that twitter feed, it reads like the last 6 months of Sander's DU contingent.

(10,129 posts)Wanna bet this "party they never heard of" is American Independent? And that they ignored the sample ballots they were sent?
1 million new voters in LA county? Either this is poorly written and the author means 1M new voters in the state, or 10% of the entire county - including minors and non-citizens - decided to register to vote in the last few months.
All voting problems should be investigated, because the process involves people and people do make mistakes. However, I'm somewhat suspicious that these problems always seem to affect Sanders voters and not Clinton ones: how do They know?
