I guess if it helps Bernie, it's ok. Early voting, absentee voting, many polling laces, no poll taxes, restrictive ID laws on voting - that's what Hillary and the Democratic party to which she belongs support. She has had her campaign lawyer support suits against ID voter laws, and in Arizona, she was probably the most hurt by the few polling places in a county where she statistically would have had the most votes.

But BS supports caucuses and now apparently don't want to give people who are unable to caucus a chance to vote. How Republican of them.

56.25% for Sanders means 8-6 split, less than that means 7-7 split nt geek tragedy Apr 2016 #8

At 96% reporting, it's 56.2% to 43.8%. Looks like it could go either way based on last county. IamMab Apr 2016 #15
