Did Bernie Sanders Suppress Voting In Puerto Rico? Officials Accuse Sanders Campaign Of Requesting Drastic Cut In Polling Places, Leading To Long Lines

The 2016 Democratic primary in Puerto Rico just took place. The announced results are something like 60-38 for Clinton. But whatever the results, how can one explain that allegedly only 60,000 people voted in the 2016 Democratic primary when more than 388,000 voted in 2008. This means a -85% turnout! That type of election fraud has not even be attempted in an African or Eastern Europe "democracies" in the 1970s!   In addition to that, the people of Puerto Rico also voted yesterday in their local primaries. There have been 600,000 counted ballots! Don't forget that the Puerto Rico Democratic primary is an open primary. Anyone could vote in this primary! One would like to make us believe that if all these people would stay hours in these long lines under the sun to vote, only 9 out of 10 would vote only in the local primaries and only 1 out of 10 would actually vote in both the the local and Democratic primaries? If the election process was correctly handled, that would just be laughable!   So, how did they do it? In fact, it was pretty simple. They organized the local primaries and the Democratic primary at different polling places on the same day! Yes you read correctly: The voters had to stay in a line at a first polling place, and then take a transportation to go to a second polling place that could be pretty far away and stay again in line the same day! And to add insult to injury, the Democratic Party slashed the polling places for their primary from 1,510 to 432 355 (see update) only 7 days before the election such that many voters would not even know where to go to vote and those who finally found their polling place had to stay up to 3 hours in line (don't forget it's in the heat of Puerto Rico, people from the continent)! Thus, this was even worse than Arizona where they only slashed polling places. In Puerto Rico, they not only slashed polling places, they put the voters in front of a practical dilemma: go and vote for their local primaries or for the Presidential primaries. And all the people who have to choose in such a case will choose to go and vote in the local primaries because it will affect their lives much more directly than choosing a Democratic candidate for a presidential election in which they can't vote anyway.   Then, there is the prison part. In the Democratic primary, there have been an estimated 7,000 ballots cast by inmates! that means that around 12% of the votes come from criminals! The Sanders campaign even had to formally complain (link1 or link2) because they could not verify the voting process in these prisons! And it has been documented that the leading crime gang in these prisons had ordered the other inmates to vote for Clinton and threatened to kill them if they voted for Sanders!   Thus, maybe Arizona was a MASSIVE fraud, maybe the election fraud in the other states was also huge, but Puerto Rico tops them all. I mean, these are 1930 Mafia-type actions. It is pretty obvious that all these frauds have benefited to one candidate: Clinton. And if we still live in the Democracy we pretend to be, I hope that the Clintons and all other people part of these frauds get prosecuted and sent to jail for a long, long time. The Democratic Party base should really topple the actual leaders of the DNC if they want their party to survive and not see it disintegrated by the disgust of its own members.   UPDATE: the real number of polling places on Sunday was eventually 355 and not 432, thx to alejandro1398, volunteer in the Dem primary of Puerto Rico in the municipality of Guaynabo. See his post further down.   UPDATE2: Los Ñetas (Prison Organization) threathen to kill any inmates who vote for Sanders (in spanish)   UPDATE3: From user mitebcoolx (see his post further down)

I had to vote in two different places; at a high school for democratic primary (spent about 2 hours in line), then walked to an elementary school to vote in local primares (about 10 minutes total to vote there). It was ridiculous.
