If Jeff a Weaver had to do it over again, bet he would have done this differently.
Concentrate a lot more money and resources on Missouri and Illinois than the other three.
The media narrative and feeling in Bernies camp would be Soooo much different today if Bernie would have won those two states.
Argh!

(17,064 posts)Polk County is pretty conservative, and probably not a likely place to steal an election. Also, Florida was already predicted to be heavily Clinton favored...not much point in election shenanigans anyway.

(13,420 posts)Hillary won the state by over 530,000 votes. It is ridiculous to think this is an instance of dirty tricks on her part. Sometimes it is best not to listen to those conspiratorial voices.

(41,600 posts)and how the state votes, you'll see Chicago goes Blue and a tiny segment in Southern Illinois is Blue. The rest of the entire state is RED in the GE. Bernie won almost the entire state outside of Chicago! My county which is 80 miles South of Chicago voted for Bernie (yay!), 90 minutes South of me, Champaign county went for Bernie (U of I) and 60 minutes South of Champaign where my son goes to college, Coles county, went for Bernie....and pretty much all counties in between here and there AND many, many Northern counties went to Bernie!
Had he concentrated his time and money in Chicago...along with SIU, Carbondale /Edwardsville and U of I college towns, he would have won BIG. The entire state voted for him...except Chicago.
Winning Chicago is how you win Illinois. That's an unfortunate fact in a Primary... I still can't believe he lost there though with all the Universities downtown.
No use crying over spilled milk though.
PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
