Never mind how obvious it is to those paying attention.
Hint: Check out the election fraud law suites in several other states. And I understand there are more on the way.

"Amid a surge in voter interest stoked by the presidential race, nearly 18 million Californians had registered to vote by Tuesday’s elections—the highest number ever for any state before a primary, according to the California Secretary of State’s office."
It's easy to see how someone might think they mean new register voters.

Thanks for clearing that up.

13. Yes, it's all confusing, and today's "journalists" don't always clear it up.

But I think the suppression is due to them calling the election the night before. It was an underhanded and calculated move on their part.

of the Very Powerful. They will cheat even when it's not necessary. They are developing their skills and controlling our elections. Sadly at one time all Democrats were united against the control of our government and now the Party has split and we have Progressive Democrats and Corporate Democrats. The Powers That Be used their wealth and power to divide our Party.

8. They were also told the election was over so a lot of them didn't bother to show up.

I'm really glad the primaries are over, with the exception of DC.

It has been one thing after another.

I am so fucking sick and tired of this election. Rigging after rigging, after rigging. Then top it off with a touch of corruption. I'm done. Period!!!!

Not that it is going to matter to any of DU's Bernie supporters.

Because the admins are currently busy designing an echo chamber here.
Listen carefully and you can almost hear the nail guns, miter saws, and electric drills being used to reconstruct this shithouse!
