This is what I want to know.What kind of election fraud and shenanigans are going on??

[Playinghardball]

[OhZone]

1. Because people who don't go to rallies still vote? nt

[George II]

18. Yes, people can't vote in the primaries if they won't be 18 by election day.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. Everything and anything.

And if by some miracle Bernie does make it through, pushing for federal election laws is probably as important as pushing money out of politics. Generate paper trails off of ALL voting machines that voters can see and verify as they're written, have them independently reviewed by at least two sets of people and the numbers compared afterwards before anything is certified, and give voters 'receipts', so that they can pull up their own votes from a national database at any point in time.

9. All good ideas.

[Cleita]

3. Maybe the people showing up at rallies aren't showing up to vote.

Or ther is some real vote and election tampering going on.

[Orsino]

4. Citizens United, mainly.

But big rallies don't necessarily translate to voting majorities.

[Beacool]

5. Because Sanders can obviously congregate a lot of people at his rallies,

but not at the voting booths.

Hillary's supporters are not attending massive rallies, or vote on online polls after a debate, but they show up where it matters: at the voting booth.

17. More often than not, the simplest explanation is the best explanation. nt

[Jenny_92808]

6. Because they are cheating!

It is so unfortunate that for the people to win, we have to overcome great cheating!

[haikugal]

10. We knew they'd throw everything possible at us.

This isn't over even if Bernie is cheated.

[Stallion]

7. This is a Ridiculous Mud-Throwing Irresponsible Thread

with no factual support-but we've come to expect it from a segment of the Sanders crowd

[haikugal]

11. We've known for years our voting system is manipulated and no one has done a damned thing

to secure the vote. Nothing! Must come in handy for both sides.

8. stuff like this..votes moving backwards

12. Howard Dean, 2004

Millennial love to show up a rallies; don't like to vote.

[Historic NY]

15. Its hard work to getup and go out to vote...

BS has been good at caucuses, because in many anyone can go in an vote, but their turnout is dismal too. People like the show because their curious, but beyond that, not so much. The people that are voting are 39-65+ .

Just a little side note I couldn't wait to be able to vote, more so than when they lower the drinking age to 18. The disaster of 1972 made me even more determined to vote.....how could the liberal lose McGovern got 17 electoral votes to Nixon's 520. By the skin of my teeth Nixon stopped the draft in time right after the inauguration on Jan 27, 1973. Bernie Sanders thought this election wasn't important. The Democrats went around the guy with the primary popular vote Humphrey.......he was in my opinion a much better candidate. Never again would I be drawn to the person who wouldn't win. FYI Obama captured me at the DNC Convention in 04. Bernie Sanders will never capture main stream Democrats.....never, like McGovern.

[MaggieD]

13. Because you still get to vote even if....

You don't go to a Bernie rally. Which is exactly the case with the 4 Clinton supporters in my immediate family.

But of course this implied smear against the Democratic Party is completely baseless, which is so typical for his supporters. Disgusting. IMO. I can't wait until this crap is banned here. Soon, I hope.

14. And with this kind of enthusiasm everywhere he goes....

/?w=610

how come Justin Bieber hasn't been elected anything yet?!

[George II]

19. He's Canadian and his followers are mostly under 18%. But Taylor Swift? Landslide!

[anigbrowl]

16. Last time I went to a concert, it was really packed

Therefore everyone likes my favorite band, no? I mean, they went on tour in multiple cities so I don't understand how they're not recognized as the most popular band.

[Codeine]

20. Because winning by LITERAL landslides would be weird.

"Figurative landslides" makes way more sense.

[Codeine]

21. Short answer; kids go to rallies, adults vote.

Relying on The Revolutionary Youth Brigade was always going to be a risky strategy. If he had pulled it off it would have been pretty much the Biggest Thing Ever. As it is he's done better than I personally anticipated but nowhere near well enough.

[KingFlorez]

22. Big crowds don't equal votes

Those crowd numbers don't even translate into that many votes.
