But the effect would surely be to discourage <i>some</i> voters, especially if the voting procedures were onerous and/or unfamiliar.<br /><br />Of course, <i>everything</i> is only speculation until the corporate media puts its stamp of approval on what it wants you to think is the way things are going to be.

It turns out that everyone who showed up got at least a provisional ballot and their day in court. And the court hearings note a lot of these people never registered. I suspect there was a lot of disinformation in this campaign. Look - states playing games with voting is a real issue but we should not make false claims just because the other candidate overwhelming won. One may not like Clinton but she got a lot more votes than Sanders. Let's concentrate our efforts at real voting suppression.

Unless there are reasons to believe the early and provisional ballots (which is what these are) are concentrated in particular CD's I don't see that you would get any delegate effect even if Statewide margins narrowed. And no reason to believe that would happen anyway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04849952583072660993noreply@blogger.com
