If they can't program it properly to pop up a confirmation window or alert then the IT people should be fired.

GOP has been using that 'mail sent, undeliverable' trick for at least a decade. blm Apr 2016 #4

Please. This is the Democratic Party, not the GOP. The GOP does not care who votes in a primary. merrily Apr 2016 #8

This transfers to the general, merrily. Sorry you were unaware of this tactic. blm Apr 2016 #9

I'm sorry you feel you always have to have someone's back and you always have to go personal. merrily Apr 2016 #12

Sending mail to voters and using lack of response to purge them from voter rolls blm Apr 2016 #128

True enough, but if the OP was registered Democrat, Amimnoch Apr 2016 #72

It is possible that they know who is supporting Hillary All in it together Apr 2016 #86

On that we agree. Amimnoch Apr 2016 #87

That's highly unlikely (like 99.9%) and why do it in a state where they expect to win. blm Apr 2016 #93

A friend of mercuryblues Apr 2016 #7

Untrue. People on the inactive list only have to show ID. You need to send this to your friend: merrily Apr 2016 #10

That may be true in MA . . . markpkessinger Apr 2016 #15

? I was responding to a post about voting in Massachusetts, not to your OP. merrily Apr 2016 #16

I get that -- was just pointing out the difference n/t markpkessinger Apr 2016 #17

Thanks, but I am aware of the difference. merrily Apr 2016 #29

Wasn't pointing it out so much for your sake, as for the sake of anyone who might be reading . . . markpkessinger Apr 2016 #31

No worries. merrily Apr 2016 #33

You have to remove buttons and other candidate swag before entering your polling place. JimDandy Apr 2016 #32

I can't - my 840high Apr 2016 #37

Stick your Bernie button in your pocket and it will cancel it out. Truth always wins out. LiberalArkie Apr 2016 #42

Caging ONLY BENEFITS the GOP in the general election. blm Apr 2016 #82

Caging can be designed in such a way as to benefit any candidate. eomer Apr 2016 #83

That would be akin to cutting off one's nose to spite their face. Who plans to win the primary blm Apr 2016 #84

No, it would be easy to design it to work for the primary without hurting in the general. eomer Apr 2016 #92

Why in a state where you fully expect to win the primary, then? blm Apr 2016 #99

Because what matters is how many delegates you get, not whether you win the state. eomer Apr 2016 #110

I think you're reaching for something that isn't there. There's proof GOP does this, blm Apr 2016 #115

Not my hope, it is just how it feels to me. Or maybe more how it smells. eomer Apr 2016 #116

When you go vote you should also have them show you your voting history. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #22

In Penn we have no capacity at the polling place to pull up such a history. Divernan Apr 2016 #56

That information would not generally be at the polling location. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #58

Gotcha. PA doesn't even provide that option. Divernan Apr 2016 #59

Voter "caging": mail sent to a voter is returned as undeliverable: Voter stricken from rolls. seafan Apr 2016 #54

It's another dirty trick. I'm curious about the bullshit that went on in Ohio and Illinois. Enthusiast Apr 2016 #55
