California Counts Millions of Provisional and Mail in Ballots Counties Flip for Bernie
By Dawn Papple, Inquisitr

(June 12, 2016 11:00 pm) — Even though The New York Times declared that Hillary Clinton “secured enough delegates for the Democratic nomination,” and later issued a correction blaming the erroneous statement due to “an editing error,” Hillary Clinton did not actually earn enough delegates to be declared the nominee of the Democratic Party. In fact, contrary to the call by the Associated Press, Clinton also has not actually won California either. There are still millions of ballots that remain uncounted that will indeed be counted as the official canvass progresses, according to the California Secretary of State’s office. As the canvassing got underway, things started to to look up for Bernie Sanders’ supporters.

In Los Angeles County 275,972 Vote-By-Mail, 256,326 Provisional and 24,021 ballots of another form still had to be counted as of Friday afternoon. This totals over 556 thousand ballots in Los Angeles County alone that will be counted, where Clinton’s lead over Sanders is just over 164 thousand votes. Los Angeles County could still go either way.

The votes simply aren’t all accounted for just yet, but they will be.

Lawsuit Finds Millions Of Uncounted Bernie Sanders Ballots
By Baxter Dmitry, YourNewsWire

(June 12, 2016 10:00 a.m.) — An historic lawsuit has been filed after the widespread cover-up of Sanders’ landslide victory at the primary election earlier this week.

The lawsuit will require the counting of all the provisional ballots, millions of which have been left uncounted, which Sanders says gives him a huge win in the state.

Comment by niknar 6/13/2016 4:24 a.m.:
There are quite a number of Republicans who would vote for Bernie. But half the independents would vote for Bernie, & they form nearly half the electorate. So with Bernie’s slightly under half of the Democrats, altogether just under 40% of the US electorate prefers Bernie, while neither Clinton nor Trump can reach 30%. A 3rd Party Sanders run, accepting the offer of the Green Party to head their ticket, would be a landslide victory for Bernie.

Ralph Nader: It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over for Bernie Sanders

alph Nader: It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over for Bernie Sanders
By Ralph Nader, Time

(June 10, 2016 16:30 p.m.) — The Democratic candidate has many good reasons not to descend to the bended-knee posture of a toady

Quo Vadis, Senator Bernie Sanders? For months Sanders has scored higher in the national polls against Donald Trump, than Hillary Clinton, highlighting some of her drawbacks for the November showdown. Yet, with one primary to go next Tuesday in the colony known as the District of Columbia, the cries for him to drop out or be called a “spoiler,” are intensifying. Don’t you understand that you have been vanquished by Hillary? You must endorse her to unify the party.

No, Bernie has other understandings beyond his principled declaration in speech after speech that his campaign is going all the way to the Democratic Party Convention. Between the June 14th D.C. Primary and the July nominating convention, lots can happen. As Yogi Berra said, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” (The run-up to the primary is a perfect time for Sanders and Clinton to forcefully advocate for DC Statehood.)

Read Bernie Sanders’ Speech Vowing to Continue His Nomination Fight
By Katie Reilly, Time

(June 8, 2016 10:10 a.m. ET) –Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders spoke to a crowd of supporters at a rally in California on Tuesday night, vowing to continue to “fight for every vote and every delegate,” shortly after Hillary Clinton declared victory in the Democratic primary during a speech in New York.

“We are going to fight hard to win the primary in Washington, D.C.,” Sanders said. “I am pretty good at arithmetic, and I know that the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight. But we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate we can get.”

Bernie Sanders Erased Hillary Clinton’s 15-Point Lead In California

Bernie Sanders Erased Hillary Clinton’s 15-Point Lead In California
By Nathan Francis, Inquisitr

(June 4, 2016 10:18 a.m.) — Bernie Sanders looked as if he would limp into the California primary and watch his upset bid over Hillary Clinton fizzle, but a surge in the polls and rumblings that superdelegates committed to Clinton may be showing hesitation has given his campaign new energy.

In recent weeks, Clinton appeared to hold a wide lead over Sanders in the Golden State. Polls showed her lead to be somewhere in the range of 15 to 18 points over Bernie Sanders, pointing to a win that would seal the nomination, thanks to Clinton’s big lead in the party-picked superdelegates, many of whom committed to her before a single vote was cast this year.

The past week saw an abrupt change, however. The latest set of polls from California showed the two candidates in a dead heat, and a new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll this week found that Sanders had actually taken a slim lead.

Social media captures incredible line to see Bernie Sanders’ Oakland speech
By Dianne de Guzman

(May 31, 2016 3:42 p.m.) — Local supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders were hella feeling the Bern.

On Monday, they were also feeling the pain of standing on their feet: an epic line preceded the presidential candidate’s speech at Frank Ogawa Plaza and traversed six city blocks.

While that may not sound impressive, given that the line was given the amusement park treatment and snaked throughout the six blocks, the feat has a bit more gravitas. Sanders supporters seemed pretty pleased with the turnout, with one person recording a (thankfully) sped up video of the line, estimating that the walk was about 17 minutes long:

‘A capacity to move voters’ : can California be Sanders’ golden state?

‘A capacity to move voters’ : can California be Sanders’ golden state?
By Nicky Woolf, Guardian

(May 29, 2016 7:05 a.m. ET) — After Hillary Clinton won the New York Democratic primary in April, her surrogates began relaying the message: game over, Bernie Sanders. Time to go home. It is mathematically impossible to win the nomination.

Technically, they were right. The rivals may be separated by only 270 pledged delegates, a large but not insurmountable gap, but that figure does not take into account the superdelegates who do not owe allegiance to any vote and almost all of whom – 571 – are already pledged to Clinton.

Bernie Sanders is running neck and neck with Hillary Clinton in the last major primary battle
By Maxwell Tani, Business Insider

(May 27, 2016 7:50 a.m. ET) — Sen. Bernie Sanders appears to be closing in on Hillary Clinton in California, which holds the last major battle of the presidential primaries early next month.

A new Public Policy Institute survey of California released on Thursday found Sanders within two points of the former secretary of state, who garnered 46% support among likely Democratic primary voters.

As in other contests, a Clinton win will likely depend on her strength among older voters and minorities.

(May 30, 2016 11:26 am) — OAKLAND — Bernie Sanders might have a new rallying cry for his longshot battle to wrest the Democratic nomination for president away from Hillary Clinton: “We Believe!”

Moments before he stepped outside Oakland City Hall to rally more than 11,000 adoring fans, Sanders pointed to the Golden State Warriors as proof that the final buzzer hadn’t yet sounded on his presidential campaign.

Bernie Sanders fighting for Democratic nod ‘until the last vote is cast’
By Tom Howell Jr., The Washington Times

(Sunday, April 24, 2016) — Sen. Bernard Sanders said Sunday he is ready to fight for the Democratic presidential nomination all the way to the California primary in June, saying he needs to push front-runner Hillary Clinton on everything from income inequality to climate change to college debt.

“It’s good for democracy, it’s good for the Democratic Party,” the self-described democratic socialist from Vermont told ABC’s “This Week.”
