The announcement could also help Sanders since Clinton voters might stay home thinking they don't need to vote today. Neither campaign asked for this proclamation yesterday.

Come on Tom, you don't actually believe this, or you have been following a different mainstream media than we have on this coast.

You're right in that the media is an integral component of American Fascism.

Why would Hillary want to dampen her own turnout? She still need a big win this week to solidify her standing.

Why?

She's already been declared the winner?

I voted by mail.

If I had not there would many things today saying skip the election.

My 110 round trip commute to work.
I won't get home tonight till 7 because of my IT class.
I only got 4 hours sleep.

So if I thought Hillary had won already I might not vote.
She needs California to make her look better as a front-runner and at the convention.

It's not how many votes Hillary gets but how many more than Bernie is officially tallied. In other words if she does not poll enough to win, the fix will be in. It's happened again and again this primary season.

Why does the government not insist that all eligible voters are given four hours before the polls close in which to vote, that's what we had in Canada.

Which is exactly why the corporate media called nomination for her.

To discourage Sanders voters.

Problem is, they just pissed us off and hardened our resolve.

Look for payback in November, it's coming.
