#CAPrimary2020: How many hundreds of thousands of #BernieSanders votes will be lost in the avalanche of "provisional" ballots? theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #CAPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary2020 #Bernie2020
In 2016, the state forced 1,307,190 voters to cast provisional ballots, 408,749 of those were rejected, a valid rejection rate equal to all other 49 states combined. gregpalast.com/bernie-won-cal… #CAPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary2020
In '16, California vote chief Alex Padilla backed Hillary Clinton, now he's been campaigning for Joe Biden. The victims? LatinX and young voters. It's José Crow, Georgia with a bullet. gregpalast.com/how-california… #CAPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary #CAPrimary2020 #SuperTuesday

#CAPrimary: There were massive lines, almost all #Bernie voters. How did they pull that off? Registered Dems got the ballot with the presidential candidate and didn’t have to wait in line. So who’s waiting in line? People who got those crazy NPP ballots! gregpalast.com/bernie-lost-55…
Here's the trick. NPP voters had to wait in line to exchange their ballots for a Crossover one. And if you don't have your ballot with you, they give you a provisional ballot. gregpalast.com/bernie-lost-55… #CAPrimary2020 #CaliforniaPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary2020 #SuperTuesday
In 2016, #California gave out 1.3 million provisional ballots — that’s half of the provisional ballots in the entire U.S. Then they disqualified 407,000 of those ballots. theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #CaliforniaPrimary #CAPrimary #BernieSanders

#Biden supporter California Secretary of State, #AlexPadilla, wins “Vote Suppressor of The Year.” By sheer numbers of ballots disqualified—with young and LatinX voters suppressed—Padilla makes Katherine Harris and Brian Kemp look like Thomas Jefferson. wsj.com/articles/calif…

#CAPrimary: One of the disasters this year is caused by the fact that LA and other counties cut polling stations by 90%. #CaliforniaPrimary #CAPrimary2020 #CaliforniaPrimary2020 #BernieSanders #Bernie2020
They were replaced by so-called “voting centers “ which anyone would know were deeply insufficient and unprepared — especially as #Bernie got out the word that you had to bring in your NPP ballot to exchange it for a Crossover Democratic ballot. #CAPrimary #CAPrimary2020
There's zero question about who was hurt: Regular Democrats tend to mail in their ballots. But most NPP independent voters, who widely favor #Bernie, could not mail in their ballots because they had to do the exchange. gregpalast.com/how-california… #CAPrimary #CAPrimary2020

NO, HILLARY CLINTON, NO.

I have diligently avoided attacking @HillaryClinton as I embraced #NotMeUs.

But this broadside against #Bernie is profoundly wrong. Especially since it echoes the erasure of his diverse coalition by pushing the "bro" narrative.

hollywoodreporter.com/features/hilla…
@HillaryClinton I am constantly stunned by the lack of self-awareness among some Clinton supporters, who have trashed me and @leeladaou with the same venom that they claim they get from "Bernie bros."

There are obnoxious supporters on all sides, and it is unfair to single out #Bernie voters.
@HillaryClinton @leeladaou Pelosi, Schumer, the Obamas, Clintons, Biden, etc. are the core of a Democratic establishment that has failed to halt the march of rightwing extremism.

It is long past time for a massive grassroots movement, and only ONE candidate is sparking that movement: #BernieSanders.

"Grassroots" pro-Brexit groups in Britain, spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on facebook campaign are, in fact, run by professional lobbyists... theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
"Their collective Facebook expenditure swamps the amount spent in the last six months by all the UK’s major political parties and the UK government combined."
"They have paid for thousands of different targeted Facebook ads encouraging members of the public to write to their local MPs and call for the toughest possible exit from the EU, creating the impression of organic public opposition to Theresa May’s deal."

🆘 #CALIFORNIA has a problem. First of all we’re allegedly waiting on 4.6 million more votes? 81k of them might need to be re-done because they’re damaged and almost 1.1 million are “provisional” or “conditional” @AlexPadilla4CA @DHSgov @ODNIgov @realDonaldTrump @CAGOP
Let’s talk about provisional ballots. NOWHERE on the page does it mention AGE or LEGAL STATUS?
WHY? In a #SanctuaryState where it’s illegal to ask citizenship status why wouldn’t they vote? This has been going on since 1984, when CA started turning blue!

THIS IS A JOKE!! WE NEED FEDERAL OVERSIGHT @FBI @JusticeOIG @SecNielsen @VP @DHSgov our State is vanishing before our eyes and there is zero government leadership we can turn to. The Governor @GavinNewsom is obsessed with illegal aliens HELP🆘
