99. In California a lot of them are listed on the voter rolls.

Jan 2018

It's easy to get their names and addresses. And if the Democratic Party invites comments on websites or signatures on petitions that would appeal to Bernie supporters, the Democratic Party will get the names without having to ask Bernie.

It's very easy if you have a good attitude.

I should explain. In California you have to be registered as a Democrat to vote in a Democratic primary -- or as an independent and know enough to request a certain kind of ballot.

A lot of Bernie supporters are registered as Independents or as Democrats in California. All the Democratic Party has to do is to send door-to-door canvassers to the addresses of Independents to find out whether they are Democrats.

In my neighborhood we get canvassers before every election.

This is easy here. Just go door to door. That's how you win elections anyway. Most Bernie supporters agree with a lot of Democratic views on the issues. The Democratic Party does not need Bernie's list.

I've been an active Democrat for many years. This is ordinary work that we who are active do.
