(154,021 posts)Bernie Sanderss campaign is accusing Puerto Ricos Democratic Party officials of fraud in the territorys presidential primary.
The campaigns head of Hispanic voter efforts, Betsy Franceschini, told Caribbean Business in an interview that Sanders officials were initially denied access to prisons to help inmates vote.
Our Bernie Sanders officials were never certified. We had 40 officials we submitted in time for the prisons. Not one of them was certified, while all of theirs went in. Attorney Manny Suárez had to go in order for us to be let in. This is a great fraud, Franceschini said.

(154,021 posts)in Univiion, they went old fashioned, good, and hand counted. To do that, you need to certify observers from both camps. The party certifies those in this case.

Care to ask who certifies? It is not the Sanders campaign. There is a half truth in that. But when the Rs steal it in November do not ask me to care. (I will but not becuase of you... in fact I do not expect my vote to ever count again as cast)

(45,319 posts)Partido Demócrata contará con 1,510 centros de votación para primaria en P. R.
El proceso será el 5 de junio como las primarias locales.
Actualizado : 5 Mayo
Publicado : 5 Mayo
El Partido Demócrata en Puerto Rico junto con la Comisión Estatal de Elecciones (CEE) anunciaron que la primaria demócrata en la isla contará con un salón por cada colegio que se abra para las primarias locales el próximo 5 de junio.
Ante esto tendrán unos 1,510 centros de votación. Al coincidir las fechas de la celebración de la primaria de candidatos a posiciones electivas en Puerto Rico con las primarias Presidenciales Demócratas, tendremos un proceso costo efectivo consistente con la mejor tradición democrática de Puerto Rico ya que se estarían utilizando los mismos colegios electorales que estarán siendo utilizados por la CEE para las primarias del 5 de junio, señaló Roberto Prats Palerm, presidente del Partido Demócrata en la isla.

Funny how different the story is today. A month ago, the Party there made that decision and defended it against criticisms for doing so. Now they claim Bernie did it this week? Do they know about the internet?
