You can here a pin drop in DU right now.

Democracy screeched to a halt in Puerto Rico. Silence. There have been no updates in almost 3 hours. Those stopped at 6:30 my time. Massive closings of polling places. They can't get the votes counted in a timely manner. It could be days before we see results.

Why? They were closed at a request from Bernie's Champaign Office. They did not have the money or the staff to send there. These are hand counts and people from each campaign needed to be present.

Sad day for Democracy.

[BootinUp]

1. And this was necessary in a PRIMARY? G DAMMIT!

[workinclasszero]

2. Rigged and this time for real!

[sheshe2]

7. They are just starting with more results now. Finally!

Bless Goddess!

[Maru Kitteh]

42. Hi sheshe! Looking for a live link!

GO HILLARY

[Democrats Ascendant]

3. Look how loud I have to yell!!!! - Homer Simpson

Seriously, though, this shit pisses me off to no end!!

[Her Sister]

4. This was an important day for Puerto Rico. They were not voting only for the Presidential Primary

Find it really bad news!

[hrmjustin]

5. I noticed that his supporters haven't really said much.

I would be willing to say I understand but they had no problem accusing Hillary and the DNC of fraud.

[ismnotwasm]

6. Why were there not enough people in Puerto Rico?

I don't understand.

[Democrats Ascendant]

8. He couldn't find enough supporters?

[brush]

41. 27$ donations drying up. Couldn't afford the ground game

Which is why he's going to lose California too.

Their whole strategy has been to rely on those huge, expensive rallies instead of instead of building a strong grassroots network to get out the votes, and man the polling station in this case.

[sheshe2]

9. My guess?

They did not have the money. These are hand counts and members of both teams need to oversee this.

[ismnotwasm]

12. So they request LESS POLLING PLACES??

Holy God.

[sheshe2]

14. I read people were waiting

two and a half hours to vote. Some gave up.

[LaydeeBug]

39. WAY LESS. There were around 2000 in '08, and less than 450 this time. nt

[shenmue]

10. The feds need to put their collective foot down about this shit

Orderly, properly counted voting is what we need. Anything else is unconstitutional.

[SunSeeker]

11. OMG. Awful.

[sheshe2]

13. They just started posting results again.

I thought something was wrong with my computer. I kept refreshing the page with no results.

Finally now!

[Walk away]

15. Sounds like Bernie Sanders is rigging P.R.

When will his supporters wise up. This guy is the worst thing to happen to Democracy since George Bush (with Nader's help) stole the election from Al Gore.

[sheshe2]

17. Interesting Puerto Rico.

Brown people voting.

[Walk away]

19. Bernie seems most upset when he can't bend them to his will.

When I met him years ago, I noticed that people either thought he was some kind of prophet or thought he was a jerk. He was really nasty to people who didn't worship him.

[teamster633]

20. I love it.

[mcar]

16. I thought Hillary was stealing it all!!11

[sheshe2]

18. That's what I heard too.

Hi. mcar. Thanks~

[liberal N proud]

21. Let me get this straight

The election is rigged

Sanders had the vote count stopped?

What does that mean for delegates?

[TwilightZone]

23. He didn't have the count stopped. He requested fewer polling places because he couldn't staff them

all. He apparently couldn't gather enough volunteers. Of so the story goes.

[UtahLib]

22. His sneaky tactics

seem to have backfired.

[Haveadream]

24. What is particularly revealing

is the fact that Sanders spent today knowing his supporters were pushing a big story that Hillary had rigged the vote in PR. That she was causing people to stand in lines for hours and suppressing their votes. A day he spent in the news cycle talking about her possible "corruption" and how much that bothered him.

All that while sitting on the knowledge that it was he who had closed all those polls and was the reason for the lines. And those voters were likely to vote for Hillary.

St Bernie he is not.

[sheshe2]

25. I guess that is all he has left now.

I would feel sad for him. Yet the game he has been playing is very very dangerous. He needs to stop this now.

[Haveadream]

36. His time is coming

and none too soon.

[ismnotwasm]

32. I agree

A very nasty piece of political maneuvering. I was wondering what that shit was about--it made no sense and it pissed off Puerto Ricians. It's too clear now.

[puffy socks]

35. Hypocrite just isn't a strong enough word

for Sanders

[question everything]

26. But the Sanderistas still control the jury

[chillfactor]

31. they won't....

once Skinner's new policies go into effect.

[TwilightZone]

33. That one actually got hidden, amazingly enough.

4-3 Hide.

On a related note, they are spin, spin, spinning away.

[jmowreader]

34. They're eating their own?

Cheese Sandwich is one of the more vocal Bernie supporters on this board.

[bravenak]

27. Hey!

Winning!!

[sheshe2]

28. Yes we are! WINNING!

bravenak

[bravenak]

29. Girl, we on Fire!

They hate the player, the game, the rules, but we still winnin! Caint keep a good woman down, yall!

[puffy socks]

30. He didn't have the money

but he has the money to go all the way to the convention?

[Koinos]

37. And to take the fam to Rome.

[savalez]

44. and to stay in a very expensive hotel.

[George II]

38. Sad that people weren't willing to show up for the "People's campaign".

[sheshe2]

43. Guess they ran out of money, George.

Trips to the Vatican. Family salaries. Tad Devin's huge salary.

Nothing left for the campaign and the voters.

[Koinos]

45. Paying back illegal donations too.

[sheshe2]

46. That to.

[Whimsey]

40. Trolling

I was watching MSNBC in real time when the protestors started going after Trump supporters. I saw signs of the protestors before the media started selectively editing the film to omit signs. I saw two socialism now signs, one Bernie sign and one combine anti Hillary/trump sign. I posted the protesters were Bernie supporters and got kicked off. But they were.

Socialism is ok as an economic system, but suppressive as a political system. Go free enterprise democracy with a good safety net!

Also, just got my Hillary pillow "A women's place is in the white house"
