225. +1000! They think they can't see the transparent ploy that this is to get special treatment

Mon May 23, 2016, 06:02 PM

May 2016

for Bernie supporters who they have been recruiting on campuses and obviously they need more busloads of them to make a difference so the entire state needs to change the rules to accommodate them.

I can't imagine the rioting that would occur if Hillary had filed a lawsuit to force an entire state to accommodate her voters.

It's not hard to register to vote. They've had this entire year to figure it out. This is all just an excuse, and look how they hide behind democracy all the time when they are actually subverting it. They think the rest of the world doesn't notice.
