Puerto Rico Dems 'appalled' by accusations from Sanders camp

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/dem-primaries/282237-puerto-rico-democratic-party-denies-wrongdoing-in-primary

Appears they now know who he r e a l l y is.


""Inmate voting is handled not by the Democratic Party but by the Commonwealth's Absentee and Advance Vote Administrative Board," Prats said. "I have been told that the Sanders campaign submitted their prison pollworker list at 6:10 pm on the evening prior to inmate voting and began complaining early in the following morning that the Board had not completed their pollworker's certification. But in the end, despite the late submittal, the Sanders campaign had representatives at the prison voting places."

He also accused the Sanders campaign of stealing two boxes of ballots that had been cast by prisoners before delivering them to an election office. "

No wonder Hillary just ignores him.

This adage applies to the Sanders campaign more and more every day.

Or another, "Never wrestle with a pig. You end up dirty, and the pig enjoys it."

about 12,000 of whom are incarcerated, or roughly 00.3% of the population.

Doesn't seem likely that the Dems would be trying to distort the votes of such a small demographic. (Not that I think that they're trying to distort the votes of anyone.)

It is the most common practice of the progressives in my town to wait until the last possible moments to do anything and then bring up issues/claims. Part of the process is a deadline, and very often they choose to ignore it to make their preposterous claims that they have been ignored, realizing that timelines is lost in the shuffle and squalls of their victimhood. Nice going sanders. You have not let one good situation go without a major whine. Would you like some cheese with that? Look for more of these at the deadlines and even after the vote in which they lose.


JasmineGal scruzie • 13 hours ago

That's what they did in Nevada. They showed up at the caucuses with people who weren't registered democrats, as the rules state, and they created a major fuss, booing Senator Boxer, throwing stuff, etc.

Barney Frank said in an interview, that when Bernie was in the House, he would accuse his fellow Dems of being "crooks" whenever they disagreed with him. He's a loner who doesn't fit in well in organized groups. While that's OK, it's not alright that he's paranoid, and constantly name-calls, disrupts and is generally a pain in the neck.

VOTER SUPPRESSION
This is exactly what he tried to do with the Puerto Rico prison ballot box theft.

So much bull crap & its finally being called what it is.
Thanks PR for stating the obvious. They are right to be appalled. It is.

Voter suppression is fair if its his camp that's doing it??!
Disgusting scam he's running on America isn't it, how proud can he be of such game playing.

This bcrap is all on him. He never has represented the Great Dem Party. The Party who has always stood for the rights of all people. Including prisoners.

We See You bernie!
