How Bernie will win California (CRUCIAL INFO), please please read:

831 Upvotes

I made a post earlier about how 950,000 ballots still have to be counted in just 3 CA counties ALONE (there are 58 CA counties total), and similarly the LA times has estimated as many as 3 million ballots still haven't been counted. We also know that CA will officially count all provisional ballots as long as they can verify voters were properly registered. Additionally, the absentee exit polls had Hillary up 10 points (55, 45), and The Guardian currently has the race at 55.8% Hillary, 43.2% Bernie. Given that so many ballots have yet to be counted my guess is (and I could be wrong on this), that the current results reflect more absentee ballots (which always favor Clinton) than the ballots cast yesterday. So, what does this mean?

 

As long as Bernie stays in the race until the convention (which he's vowed to do), CA is required to count the remaining ballots. And this is where YOU come in. If people keep checking their ballot status periodically and/or call 562-201-8999 to inquire about/track their votes, and demand their ballots be counted, then we stand at a higher likelihood of this process running smoothly and honestly. His numbers can only go up from here so let's do this! #StillSanders #AlwaysSanders #OnlySanders

 

EDIT: So far we know of 1,592,499 ballots to be counted in 10 counties: https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/4n76ts/thread_to_post_links_to_articlestweetsetc/

 

EDIT 2: From /u/jinianc — "We need as many Bernie volunteers as possible to be present as observers to verify and watch the ballot counting process. Every Bernie vote needs to be certified. If anyone has any time at all, it is an open process. This is your chance to be a part of the final and most crucial part of Bernie's campaign! If you're able to help out, please respond ASAP. Every day that goes by is a counting day." Information on how to get involved.

 

EDIT 3: Just to make things even more interesting, the lawsuit that alleges Clinton has been used for electoral fraud and has FBI backing will be filed today. Source.  

From /u/DJ_Lena — "trustvote.org RICO lawsuit filed on 6/6 in Ohio. The lawsuit is going to demand that all of the exit polls, 24 exit polls showing the fraud, now be published, that the MEDIA stop suppressing the evidence of crime. And they plan to prove the Election Fraud, that the media is covering up. They say FBI and DOJ are involved. And Ohio has the most stringent RICO law and it can be opened to ALL states."

California is the game-changer and we will need to win by 15+ points

436 Upvotes

We have gained in Michigan all the momentum we can get and from this point on what will matter is the delegate count, if Bernie has blowout victories in OH, MO and narrow victories in Illinois and florida as well as NC we are probably on track for the nomination. However this is somewhat unlikely.The response in Cali has been really encouraging but we need to prepare for the possible scenario of needing a 15+ point win there to make up our deficit. This is certainly possible given the time until the voting.I would ask all in California to start organizing today as many events as possible,your state has the most beneficial conditions for Bernie:

-An established base of support, despite the fact we are still months away from primary day

-Favourable demographics

-Polls show clinton +11 and losing ground as of January! which taking into account the inaccuracy of polls (ignore independents) and the factor of a general Sanders rise since jannuary may actually mean that if the election was today we might very well be ahead.

-A significant number of voters do not yet know bernie because the election is only months from now

-The support of the governor and almost all senators are up for grabs, the only relevant establishment support HRC has is 1 senator and if the people lobby hard enough we could get that establishment support .

If we put in the work in Cali we might actually make up 100 delegates, which is about half our current deficit. So if we start RIGHT NOW i imagine in April when they do new polls and those polls show us leading by 10 or 20 points that has to change the whole media narrative and even if she at that time still has a lead of 150-200 delegates that lead would have to be percieved at only 50-100 because the state would be locked for us.And that lead is easy to overcome with the momentum this would generate.

So if we really have all of this support in California lets prehemptively stun the world by locking down the biggest prize of all .Bern it all PLS.

Activism Obama lost California by ~8% (420,000 votes). The latest poll shows us 7% behind (would lose by 350,000 votes in the same 5,000,000 2008 turnout). We're AHEAD of where Obama ended, with months to go. Take it seriously NOW and we can win 60-40!!!

Almost half a million California voters registered in the American Independent Party

243 Upvotes

Almost half a million voters who probably intended to register No Party Preference instead of AIP.

AIP registered voters can not vote for Bernie in the primary.

The list of voters registered under the American Independent Party will be easy picking for phonebanking. California gives out voter registration information with private information included (phone numbers, etc.) for journalistic purposes.

Any student journalists want to tackle this?

I would assume the campaign knows about AIP and has those voters in the phonebank, but crap like this has burned us before. If there's anyone with contacts in the campaign please pass this info on just in case.

CA 48 Hill / 41 Bern California Poll that seems to have gone under the radar a bit. Hilary 48 - Bernie 41

223 Upvotes

Here is the source.

A- Rating from 538. 50/50 cell phone land line. Only polled likely democratic voter. That means that the 23% No Party Preference voters have not been polled.

7 point gap with Democrats overall with 2 and a half months until we vote is excellent news. We can not only close that gap but flip it the other way in the next couple months.

edit: appears this was released today so not quite under the radar.

Fellow Californians, if you want to stop a Trump presidency, please vote for Bernie Sanders.

218 Upvotes

[this may be preaching to the choir, but perhaps some of you will want to share some of this summary, or, if you aren't currently planning to vote for Senator Sanders but come across this-]

Multiple national polls now show a Trump vs. Clinton race within the margin of error, with one even showing Trump in the lead now; this trend will continue as Trump's unfavorability plummets as he tacks to the center on social issues, while Clinton's unfavorability rating skyrockets, in one instance already polling below Trump's. Meanwhile, Sanders leads Trump by double digits in most national polls, a landslide in any voting system.

Of course, you all know that national numbers in our electoral college system are not as important as state-by-state numbers, and it's here that a Clinton candidacy seems all but certain to ensure a Trump victory. In three of the key battleground states, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, Clinton either trails Trump or is within the margin of error; Sanders, with greater leads, wins all three. In other recent polling, Clinton is within the margin of error in New Hampshire, while Sanders leads Trump by double digits. More significantly, Clinton loses Georgia and Arizona to Trump--an expected result, considering those states generally go Republican, but Sanders currently leads Trump in both states, an even more important sign of a landslide Sanders victory.

You may imagine that Clinton's numbers will also rise if she manages to become the sole nominee, but the vitriol of her primary campaign, coupled with the outrageous behavior of her surrogates, such as Debbie Wasserman Schultz, David Brock, and Clinton’s brother’s mother-in-law, our very own Barbara Boxer, along with the apparent complicity of corporate media in propping up Clinton's damaged candidacy, has ensured that a great number of progressives and the majority of independents will not vote for her under any circumstances. Many progressives prefer to vote for third-party candidates, while independents favor who they see as the lesser of two evils: Trump.

Many Clinton supporters will retort with something along the lines of Sanders not being "vetted" yet, a talking point straight from Clinton's super PAC Correct the Record. Yes, he will be attacked more directly while running directly against Trump, but Clinton has also not been "vetted": she has not run a non-primary presidential campaign herself, and her numbers show no signs of doing anything but continuing to fall while Trump’s rise.

Now, none of this yet has touched on the criminal investigation (plural, possibly) and multiple civil cases against Clinton. Whether or not she is indicted, most voters who are not blindly supporting her either expect an indictment or will see a non-indictment as an unjust political move; either way, this will be one of the major themes of a Clinton vs. Trump race, one she will not be able to dodge as she has so far with friendly debates scheduled by the DNC and enabled by her corporate media major donors such as Time Warner and Univision. In the most prominent civil case, the judge--who was appointed by President Clinton--has called the State Department's behavior regarding Secretary Clinton's illegal server "very, very, very troubling" and seems likely to compel her to testify, perhaps during the heat of the national race.

Any establishment candidate would face an uphill battle in the current zeitgeist of dissatisfaction and unrest, but one as damaged as Clinton is almost sure to lose, even against the likes of Donald Trump. So, again, please: if you do not want a farcical and potentially disastrous Trump presidency, vote for Senator Sanders. Yes, without an indictment before the convention, the odds remain long, but despite what corporate talking heads masquerading as the Fourth Estate have been telling you from day one, the race is not over. California, by far the most populous state in the Union, can save the rest of the country from President Trump.

73% of Californians registered to the American Independent Party erroneously believe they're "independent"

218 Upvotes

http://static.latimes.com/american-independent-party-california-voters/

The AIP is a far-right party and a recent poll found that 73% of the people registered to it had no idea and thought that they were no affiliation.

People registered "no-affiliation" can vote in the California Democratic Primary. But if they're registered AIP they can not.

We need to get the word out to all California "independents" that they may unknowingly be register to AIP.

I was one of the tens of thousands of Californians who thought I was a registered Independent but turns out I was registered as American Independent Party. MAKE SURE YOU HAVEN'T DONE THIS or you can't vote for Bernie. : SandersForPresident

We have no delegates representing in Big Bear. None. Several areas are short in delegates. We need volunteers desperately. Please share! There is a group called California Delegates for Bernie on Facebook. If you have questions or if you are already a delegate for California, please join. You will have to go to Philadelphia for the convention and it will cost money, but we will work to get funds raised. You can get some more information at this link:

http://www.cadem.org/our-party/national-convention

Edited: CA Dem party has a gender quota for delegates, we need both men & women to apply in order to get all the delegate slots filled. Thanks for the info, omid_!

**I am sharing this post from Facebook. Please share to everyone you know who may be interested! If you have questions, please contact the Facebook group! THANK YOU!
