I'm wondering if the impending legal battle of this will result in the Ohio results hanging in limbo for a month or so. The governor's declaration really throws everything out of wack and voting is a constitutional right

France had elections on Sunday with record low turnout, and have since delayed the second round (due for this coming Sunday) to late June. Constituonally this is supposed to void the results of the first round, but I'm not sure that has been settled.

What's on the ballot in Ohio? It seems a bit foolish to have a primary now (oh, and vote by mail needs to become the standard nationwide).

Judge a right guy or Dem? Because I can't see this without him wanting a to fuck over the vote.

Dangerous Dumb Judge, dumb groups pushing for it, dumb Bernie for even staying in when he has no shot.

It's not the judge's fault. There's nothing in the law allowing for what the governor tried. This is all on Dewine and the misinformation and confusion that comes from trying to do things last minute.

This is all on the governor for trying to delay an election with less than 24 hours notice. There's no world in which the correct thing to do is to tell poll workers the election is cancelled before the case has been settled. How dumb can you be to do that?

Focusing on the younger generations may finally payoff.

If Sanders wins ohio tomorrow I hope it gets the "It's impossible for Sanders to win!" crowd to quit whining about him not dropping out.
You serious right now? Biden is going to destroy him in FL and IL. OH is irrelevant, and Bernie still being in this race is disgusting.

I doubt Bernie could win Florida but there's potential for him to do well in IL and OH if older folks don't turn out. It would be a highly unlikely turn of events, but a guy can dream.

What do the last two super Tuesdays have to do with younger people supposedly freaking out more than older people?
Older people are showing up in record numbers shows that they largely aren't afraid of the virus. As for younger people being more afraid, that's largely anecdotal from what I've experienced.

Biden is beating Bernie in the IL polls by 20-38% in recent days.

Ah delicious, a taste of November early.

We are so very very fucked. Throw in Russian misinformation and Trump crooning to his base to ignore the hoax and come vote and you've got the perfect recipe for the lowest voter turnout in years.

Yeah, the last two super Tuesday's.
Yeah... I wouldn't really say that proves anything. The coronavirus situation is changing pretty rapidly. Since last Tuesday things have gone from business as usual to entire states being shutdown aside from essential businesses. We didn't see people panic buying groceries until late last week. The majority of people are just now starting to take this outbreak seriously.

Lol sabotage, what? You make it sound like Sanders is the one responsible for the Coronavirus or something.
No. But the only way Sander's can overtake Biden is for fuck how like this happening in every remaining state so people don't know if they are able to vote.

I swear you guys are on some flat Earth/jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams/dinosaurs on the Ark level when it comes to denying the electoral math.

I don't think the "will of the people at the convention" candidate would be happy with his supporters being giddy at the prospect of only being able to win because of depressed turnout.

Whether you think in-person voting in Ohio should have been shut down or delayed or not, the way this was communicated was horrible.

He was very upfront though..he said when announcing it that he didn't have the power to do it, but based on new data this morning he was sending it to the court. I don't know what else he could've said.

He did this less then one day before the election he really messed this all up.

So yeah this his fault alone for waiting really late.

So what are the chances older voters are too scared to turn out, and younger voters carry Sanders to victory in Ohio?

I've already admitted that Sanders winning is highly unlikely. You make it sound like I'm the devil because I still have a sliver of hope that we could have a president that supports M4A.

As a sanders supporter I already feel like I'm ostracized from the party and being compared to a conspiracy theorist doesn't really help in that regard. But #unity though right?

Yeah I've been seeing this attitude from a lot of Biden ppl here and it sucks, hard.

Man, havent you heard? Sanders's M4A and student debt forgiveness are all pie-in-the-sky, unrealistic fantasies. Not at all like curing all forms of cancer like joe Biden has promised.

Unity only matters when it can help drag the party further right.

Not the devil, but why would you be happy for your candidate to win because of a fuck up? And not even a meaningful win because it won't change the math.

I'm in Illinois, but Im pretty concerned because my 91 old grandpa that just got out of rehab from a fall wants to still go to vote. I mean obviously I'm happy for the fact that he wants trump the fuck out and is hardcore dem, but the idea of him and maybe also my grandma going there is not good to me.

Sorry :( I guess you just have to make sure he follows all the guidelines.

Bernie needs to just drop out already.

When the only hope that you have is that bunch of people don't vote because all those people would not vote for that person, yikes.

When it's in the bag, what is the point.

People need to get ready for November.
