And speaking of vote suppression: I encouage you to read this expose on the Texas caucauses.
Not only is the caucus system unrepresentative, it’s open to abuse by anyone who wants to game it.Example:
At the Precinct Convention, _____ said the Chair asked for a “show of hands” of how many people wanted to be delegates and then the Chair appointed “7 delegates to Obama and 6 for Clinton.” The Obama captain called in FALSE results. She said the actual results were 74 Clinton and 33 Obama (total votes) which translates 9 for Clinton and 4 for Obama of 13 delegates. Obama supporters did not allow Hillary supporters to review the results of the count or participate in the math.
At 7:05pm at the Precinct Convention, all of the voting for the primary was complete and all of the caucus goers were seated. ________ reported that the Obama chair waited an hour and said “we did not expect this many people so we will have to move” when no move was necessary. The chair said “just sign your name and address and then you can leave.” When asked “what about our presidential preference?” the Obama chair replied “we don’t have time for that…just write your name and address.”This is election fraud, pure and simple. If all states used straight-up primaries, Hillary Clinton would be the nominee.

What is up with your obama bashing? how do you want that fembot hilary? Don't you get it that she is basically a republican?
Joe, this is a side issue but an important one to think about as it does hit on "suppression".
I was away on a family trip to Ironwood, Mi and visited the local library to catch up on the news. All of my attempts to access websites including Cannonfire were BLOCKED. The articles I was able to read that included posts had the prior posts BLOCKED. You could read the article and (maybe?) post but not read any existing posts.
While on the computer, twice people came in who had requested books about Politics and Government secrecy. In both cases they had been waiting for a very long time and the books still hadn't come in.
The Internet Blocking really is a problem as from all appearances, someone wants to keep people from learning certain information.
There is more but that may be for another time....

I haven't seen anything that she is conceding. I saw that she is "effectively conceding." I betcha it's so. I still think she'll win in S. Dakota and that his fortunes are imploding.
Doesn't matter anymore. Obama's gotten it with the supers. I knew the fix was in months ago.
