An objective legal analysis makes it seem very unlikely that she broke any actual laws. What she did may display poor judgement but people calling it illegal are reading their own desires into the situation.

I'm one of the irredeemable trash sub-humans in a Southern state and friends of mine were talking about how their offices, full of loud conservatives, apparently didn't bother with voting today. Trump stomping all over Georgia was the fault of an unmotivated populace letting the crazy folk go for the gold.

I'm honestly curious because lots of my coworkers admitted they didn't vote, but were worried about Trump winning. Is it because the "other guys" were so terrible? :shrug: What loving excuse do you have for not voting, when you're a white-collar shitlord that can take a morning off with no repercussions?

Edit: Holy gently caress I'm bad at grammar.

There's a rule on the books that a candidate has to win a certain number of states to be considered eligible at the convention. The trick is that the RNC can (and has) changed that rule before the convention; they last did it to block potential shenanigan from Ron Paul supporters.

There must have been some kind of mistake. The election maps on WaPo and NYT both showed him as the projected winner a couple minutes ago but they've been switched back now.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not but:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/us/politics/democratic-primary-results.html

quote:

In Alabama, Georgia and Virginia, blacks accounted for more than half the population in some districts, while Hispanics dominated many of the Texas Senate districts that allocated delegates on Tuesday. Mrs. Clinton had some of her best results in these regions and was poised to build a lead of 100 delegates or more over Mr. Sanders, the same margin that Mr. Obama established in 2008 — and one that Mrs. Clinton was never able to overcome.
