Stealing California from #Bernie — again? gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #BernieSanders #Bernie2020 #BernieSanders2020 #CAprimary
I saw what happened to #Bernie in 2016. People were improperly registered, not registered. There were three quarters of a million ballots which were cast provisionally or on the wrong ballot, which were thrown out. gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #BernieSanders #Bernie2020
It was mostly #Bernie votes that were thrown out. We know that from the Roper Poll. #BernieSanders won California in June, 2016, if you counted all the votes… gregpalast.com/bernie-won-cal…
Forget the urban myth that you can vote in the CA Democratic primary if you’re not registered as a Democrat. Yes, there’s a way to do it. But it’s so difficult and in some cases it’s impossible because the nice lady behind the desk doesn’t know the procedure and could mess it up.
If you’re No Party Preference in California, you’ll get a ballot but it won’t have the presidential candidates. You have to ask for a “crossover ballot” if you want to vote in the Democratic primary. gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #CAPrimary
In 2016 in Los Angeles alone, 66,000 No Party Preference voters voted in the Democratic primary on Democratic party ballots — and every one of those 66,000 ballots was about to be disqualified and thrown out. gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #CAprimary
But you have a fairly good county clerk in Los Angeles, who said, you know what? That’s just throwing away legitimate votes. But LA is the only place in California that didn’t throw away your votes.
If you voted in the 2016 #CAPrimary in San Francisco and Berkeley, and you’re a #NoPartyPreference voter and you voted with a Democratic ballot, your ballot did not count. You did not count, unless it specifically said “crossover” at the top. gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #npp2020
If you want to vote in the California Democratic primary, make sure you are registered as a Democrat. I’m not saying you should be a Democrat. But make your life easy, if you want to vote in the #CAPrimary, sign up as Democrat. gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #BernieSanders
