I like it, agree with it and have always lived in places that did this.

Not sure what your fuss over this is.

Exit polls are incredibly accurate and reliable everywhere in the world but here. But New York was clean and Hillary is an honorable woman.

This looks really rotten.

I trust Greg Palast.

He's done excellent work shinning the light of day on our rigged election system, especially after the infamous 2000 election in Florida. Unfortunately very little has been done to fix it.

I agree the voter purge is nationwide. We let the parties be in total control of who votes, well then we cannot expect elections to be a representation of the will of the people.

More about the rigged system and the role the superdelegates play....

Except, of course, Hillary over Bernie is the "will of the people," regardless of Joad's idiocy in the matter.

That what he desires is not what has occurred does not make the actual result any less credible.

Joad is having a bit of a tantrum methinks.

That Hillary has been campaigning for 10 years now to get to this point; barely winning over her opponent Sanders tells me that her support is lukewarm. And with gerrymandering etc, control of ballet boxes, and the myriad of ways in which vote counts can be rigged... at least she has the appearance of having the will of the people which is all she needs.

But that's a separate issue from voter disenfranchisement. I personally think the democrats are relatively new at disenfranchisement.

I'm not alone.

There's a whole shitload of Bernie supporters out there that feel just the same way I do.
