El Comité de Bernie Sanders en Puerto Rico presentará mañana una querella ante el Negociado Federal de Investigaciones (FBI) en Washington, tras denunciar que tiene información fidedigna de que el grupo los Ñeta (Asociación Pro Derechos del Confinado) le exigieron a los confinados que votaran por la precandidata demócrata a la Casa Blanca, Hillary Clinton, y no por su rival Sanders.
El abogado Manny Suárez informó a Primera Hora que también están solicitando la intervención del Departamento de Justicia para que se una a la investigación, tras conocerse “que la organización criminal Los Ñeta dió instrucciones a todos sus seguidores dentro de las cárceles de que tenían que votar por Hillary Clinton”.

Los confinados tuvieron ayer el derecho del voto adelantado.

or su parte, Ernesto Curiel, sub comisionado electoral de la Campaña de Bernie Sanders en Puerto Rico, dijo que por ejemplo, el jueves, en la cárcel de Bayamón (302) “se aparecieron 25 reclusos a votar en la primaria demócrata; de esos 25 reclusos reclusos que votaron en papeleta abierta (en las cárceles no hubo máquinas de escrutinio electrónico)…y mira si la instrucción fue clara, que de esos 25, 22 fueron por Hillarry y 3 por Sanders”.

Aclaró que esos tres votos por Sanders podrían ser “parte del acuerdo y para tapar, por lo que dijeron, no todo el mundo (puede votar por Hillary) porque entonces se va a ver obvio”.

or its part, Ernesto Curiel, deputy electoral commissioner Bernie Sanders Campaign in Puerto Rico, said that for example, on Thursday in prison Bayamón (302) "25 inmates appeared to vote in the Democratic primary; of those 25 inmates inmates who voted in open ballot (in prisons there were no electronic counting machines) ... and see if the instruction was clear, that of those 25, 22 were by Hillarry and 3 Sanders ".

He clarified that those three votes by Sanders could be "part of the agreement and to cover, so they said, not everyone (can vote for Hillary) because then you will see obvious."

2. So you think Hillary arranged with Puerto Rican crime networks to threaten inmates so that she

could get 22 votes?

8. She is all powerful and can control the weather

so why wouldn't she arrange to scare prisoners into voting for her.

3. This will work!!!!

Keep trying to come up with some reason the whole thing is fixed! It's a conspiracy!

If you're counting on incarcerated felons in Puerto Rico as a voting bloc (is that a cell bloc?) you're losing.

7. That's your response? Unbelievable!!

9. With her track record, she'll do anything to offset a delegate loss in CA

https://m.

The guy in the video quoted a pro-Hillary politician saying she was already ahead in voting. The guy in the video didn't know the prisoners voted and why they voted as they did, which is what this article documents. Telling the public a candidate is already ahead is a tactic used to discourage supporters of the non-leader from voting, essentially hinting their votes don't matter. Hillary is trying this trick in CA. Also, do note voter suppression is much easier to do when local govt is flat out broke. What is happening in PR represents the best Neoliberalism has to offer. Remember kids, a vote for Hillary is a vote for Neoliberalism.

14. why does telling people a candidate is leading only discourage that candidate's opponents

Why wouldn't inspire them to vote, but discourage those who support that candidate from bothering, since their votes aren't needed?

4. You shouldn't mock Sanders supporters like this.

As a fellow Clinton supporter, you have simply gone too far and this is just making fun of them. We aren't making friends with ops like this.
