Is there any way I could convince you to use less silly links to prove your points? Messing with voter registration is a big deal; is there no news source other than one that slogans “videos, humor and other time wasting tools” covering the issue? ---

> [@Ulf\_the\_Unwashed](#): > > For instance, from [http://gazette.com/the-latest-arizona-independents-confused-about-voting-rules/article/feed/328814:](http://gazette.com/the-latest-arizona-independents-confused-about-voting-rules/article/feed/328814:) “Election officials in Coconino County handed out more than 100 provisional ballots at a polling site to people who insist they are able to vote in Tuesday’s presidential primary despite not being registered as Democrat or Republican. County recorder Patty Hansen says poll workers have been telling those people the votes won’t count. She says students at Northern Arizona University who aren’t registered to vote in Coconino County also have been demanding ballots.” This is an issue with Sander’s campaign. He didn’t expect to do this well, and if he had been serious, and understood where his appeal would come from, he’d have been really active getting college students registered as Democrats in closed states. But he didn’t have that sort of experience or expectation, nor did he have the DNC connections to make it happen ---

This [site](http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/graphics/2016-delegate-tracker/) gives a graphic representation of how (un)well Bernie is doing. He’s winning little states with basically no delegates. Looking at what’s remaining, and what Bernie has to do to overcome a 700+ deficit, it’s pretty clear he’s just wasting time. ---

Messing with voter registration is a big deal; is there no news source other than one that slogans “videos, humor and other time wasting tools” covering the issue? Best I could find. Perhaps in the next couple of days there will be some more reputable site giving a sober estimate of the actual number of cases of Dems who had to vote by provisional ballot, but at the moment Twitter-feed appears to be the best thing to go on. ---
