Sanders MA Voters to Sue Bill C. for Trampling on Voting Rights-Seek Delegates be Awarded to Bernie

[BigBearJohn]

Invoking voting rights laws and precedents commonly cited in such cases, a group of Bernie Sanders supporters who voted for Sanders in the Massachusetts Primary on March 1st are confronting what they say was illegal campaigning by Bill Clinton on behalf of Hillary Clinton. On that Tuesday, known as "Super Tuesday," reports emerged, to the consternation of Sanders supporters, that Bill Clinton was illegally campaigning within 150 feet of polling stations during voting hours, in some cases walking inside the stations, all of which Massachusetts law expressly prohibits. Laws governing how close to a polling station one can campaign on voting days are similar in all 50 states.

A draft copy of a civil action posted in a Drop Box account states:

"On March 1st, “Super Tuesday” in the Massachusetts Democratic primary...Bill Clinton, did disenfranchise a large group of voters by diluting their votes through illegal campaign activity in and near polling stations. This disenfranchisement was deliberate, carefully crafted, and effective."

The voters contend that far more than being a nuisance and exhibiting thoughtless disregard for the law, Clinton's actions were:

"carefully and deliberately calibrated to impact the electoral battlefield in such a way that the entire course of future primaries was affected."

The lawsuit takes note that throughout the day of the Massachusetts primary, Clinton and Sanders were "neck and neck," according to NBC News, with Sanders at one point pulling ahead. Boston Patch reporter Alison Bauter wrote afterwards that Massachusetts was considered by some to be a "must-win" for Sanders, as any momentum he had might have had would be stopped by a loss there. In the end Clinton won seven out of 11 races in states which were voting on that day, with Sanders taking four.

4. As or more disturbing than Bubba:

Mass uses paper ballots, but counts most ballots by machine. Where ballot were hand counted, Sanders supposedly did better.

I will ad a note about this story, though. Brown's victory over a Coakley was not an upset as of the days right before the election. She started out something like 20 to 30 points ahead of him in the polls, but plummeted quickly to well below his poll numbers. Does it mean they are wrong on hand counting? No, it just means they are wrong about the polls immediately before they Coakley Brown voting.

5. I hope they have an attorney that takes

no crap and fights to win.

How sad that in this country we have to even deal with BS like this.

But if we have to fight it, then so be it.

And go for 8 figure punitive damages too.

Any attorney in the audience know how long it would take to fight this?

8. People in Chicago should do the same thing!

He was supposed to win Illinois and Missouri and was within 3 points in Ohio and lost Ohio by 24? I don't think so.

This primary has been one big cluster fuck by the CORRUPT Clinton machine and I'm sure Rahm had a hand in Illinois. Billy boy was electioneering in a Chicago polling place on March 15 and needs to be sued there too. As long as he/they get away with election fraud and voter suppression, they will do it in every state coming up.

PEACE
