Tony Dokoupuil just said the Sanders campaign requested slashed polling stations

[MattP]

They didn't have enough monitors
Msnbc reporter i think it hurts Hillary Seniors cant wait hours in line, they are a bunch of ratfuckers

[SaschaHM]

1. Boom!

Another thing in a long line of Bernie folks complaining about one thing to mask another.

[LiberalFighter]

2. That is voter suppression.

[BootinUp]

7. And this is a primary she was strong in. I don't like it. nt

[KewlKat]

3. i don't understand

what does slashed polling stations mean?

[SaschaHM]

4. Cutting down the number.

PR was originally supposed to have 1500, now they have 400ish and that has resulted in long lines and confusion.

5. This!? MSNBC reporter @tonydokoupil reporting that voting booths in Puerto Rico are down because Sa

MSNBC reporter @tonydokoupil reporting that voting booths in Puerto Rico are down because Sanders asked local dems to do so

Per @tonydokoupil, Puerto Rico's Democratic Party is blaming Sanders's campaign for long lines & confusion today:

6. I just heard that, too!

I'm so glad he reported that so they can't try to blame any "rigging" on the DNC or Hillary, although I'm sure some of them will.

[shenmue]

8. That's borderline criminal

They're trying to create agitation because their candidate can't win.

[KewlKat]

9. so after all the BS lawsuits and complaints

about voter suppression...........the BS camp it now in fact causing voter suppression?

BS sr advisor now on tweety's show.

10. Glad that HRC is winning winning winning Puerto Rico!

Them monitors not gonna enjoy their monitoring.

[DemonGoddess]

11. is anyone at all surprised?

and boy, Devine is waffling, LOL, Tweety is raking him.

[anotherproletariat]

18. It's too bad that his minions are so brainwashed and can't see how undemocratic he's actually being.

It's so obvious that he just pulled this stunt so Hillary wouldn't clinch before Tuesday. It's not like he has any chance of winning the nomination, which then I might have understood. It's just another display of Sanders being a sore loser.

The Democratic powers-that-be should really make a public call to all uncommitted super delegates to fight back and commit to Hillary tomorrow.

13. Wow. Just...wow.

"They didn't have enough monitors."

Why is their poor planning everyone else's problem? Especially the voters. One of the MAJOR tactics of voter suppression is just this...dramatically cutting the number of polling places.

[spooky3]

14. Or poor resources. Monitors are volunteers, so it could have been that the BS

campaign could not attract enough volunteers to staff 1000 polls.

[sarae]

15. I'm reading some of the Twitter responses to this

from BS supporters and I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm not.

"anyone who believes that has no idea who Bernie really is"

"Well that's straight out bullshit. Bernie Sanders is the only one fighting for PR. Trying to save it"

"bahahaha you expect people to believe that??"

"Nothing more than more dis-information by #Hillarybots like @benensonj. Wake up and smell the coffee #BernieorBust"

[SunSeeker]

16. K & R for exposure. nt

[ProudProgressiveNow]

17. K&R nt

[Cha]

19. Course.. why else would they do it?

[jmowreader]

20. Monitors are campaign volunteers, aren't they?

The stated excuse was a lack of funds...problem is, Bernie's volunteers are paying HIM to come to work. You know Bernie isn't going to accept anyone as a volunteer unless that person has several $27 donations under his or her belt...like, oh, twenty or thirty. These volunteers would have to provide their own transportation to the polls, their own food...naah, the two most likely explanations are (1) he was actively trying to ratfuck Hillary or (2) not enough people on Puerto Rico like him enough to give up a Sunday to watch people count ballots.

[Koinos]

21. It could be something simple.

It could be that enthusiasm for Sanders is waning among his followers, especially after many stopped getting paid.

I think his campaign is running out of cash and running out of steam (or "bern&quot . Lack of funds to GOTV in California could be a big problem for him.
