I AM DONE.
I thought that I had lowered my expectations in this election. But to have this outrageous theft of voting by blocking voting by Bill/Hillary Clinton is beyond the pale.
Bill Clinton, for those of you who haven’t heard, crisscrossed all over Massachusetts voting stations, and BLOCKED THE VOTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS while people were held in line to wait or told to come back. He blocked the vote of citizens of this country and used a bullhorn to urge people to vote for Hillary right within the polling station immediate area in violation of Massachusetts law, apparently. Coincidentally, this happened in heavily Sanders areas.
People do not have hours to wait in line to vote. They have work to get back to, children to pick up, apppointments to keep, and some people are not physically able to withstand that long a wait. This amounts to blocking the voting. I just cannot believe that this has happened. And so openly.
IS THIS A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY?
I cannot believe the utter contempt for the democratic voting process by the Clinton Machine…..
THIS IS SERIOUS.
If you are a Clinton supporter and dont’ see what the matter is with this, then there is nothing anyone can do to explain it to you. Just imagine that a Bernie surrogate prevented the voting in a heavily Clinton area.
THIS IS SERIOUS. Mr. Sanders, do something to protect your voters and all voters. This is the type of shit that African Americans have had to put up with all their existence. Now it is being done to Bernie supporters.
This is unAmerican, unDemocratic……
VIDEO: Bill Clinton campaigns outside polling location — in violation of state law?
A Massachusetts voter was fuming after she says her polling location was shut down to accommodate a visit by Bill Clinton on Tuesday.
Angela Grace posted cell phone video showing orange barrels and yellow police line tape at what she says was a New Bedford voting location.
“I haven’t seen one person be able to come in and be able to vote in here. Everything is blocked off. No person can park here.
“They are affecting the voting at this poll. It’s ridiculous. It’s fraud and illegal,” she declared while panning the camera across the scene showing the media and police milling about while dozens of observers are cordoned off.
“From one side of the street to the other, there’s no way anybody can get down here to vote.”
She laid the blame at the feet of the New Bedford mayor, Jon F. Mitchell.
“Mayor of New Bedford, MA campaigning for Hillary and blocking this voting poll!!! No one has come here to vote in the 2 hours I’ve been here by the door!!” she wrote in the video description.
Another video, posted by WFHN, shows Mitchell speaking into a bull horn after Bill Clinton addressed the crowd for several minutes.
From Twitter (update: woman clearly heard saying “blocking the voting poll” at 1:35, several times)

If you are a voter who can't get into a polling place in Massachusetts please call: 1-617-727-2828 They are saying they haven't had a single complaint from a real voter. This is the elections commissions office.
Bill Clinton and the Mayor should be charged with voter Intimidation and Obstructing a Voting Place and be thrown in JAIL this is such BS

Actions speak louder than words. His presence created an impediment to voters exercising their constitutional right. He broke the law by electioneering within 150 ft. of a polling site. He created delays for people that lasted hours in the most contested state this Super Tuesda
