This was so predictable

There was no way Dem leadership, who believe had JB run in 2016 that they would not have been trumped - allows anyone else but Uncle Joe to get the nod - unless he totally blows it.

Another one bites the dust...

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/us/politics/amy-klobuchar-drops-out.html

" the senator is flying to Dallas to join the former vice president at his rally, where she will suspend her campaign and give her endorsement on the eve of Super Tuesday."

Buttigieg hasn't decided if he is endorsing Biden yet or not - or if he decided it, he has not told anybody.

Pete waiting for a bigger stage

Both he and Amy will be offered administration slots.

Meanwhile, the racist scumbags you keep defending continue to try to deny minorities the ease of voting.

Are there polling station closures in blue states?

Why don’t you tell us?
Sure there are. Boards of elections are bi partisan. The cost of staffing and operating voting locations come out of state and county taxes. Modern day voting does not require the amount of space and workers it used to.

Your Egyptian is clear as day: "We may be racist, but we aren't going to admit it."

Such bullshit, Ward.

The vast majority of these reductions occurred under the proverbial cover of darkness — without any notice or reporting from the news media. They are especially concerning because majority-White counties voted to shutter voting locations with significant Black populations over the vocal objections of local civil rights groups. The Pasquotank County Board of Elections, for example, shuttered half of the polling places in Elizabeth City — a majority-Black community — without public input and over the objections of the local NAACP branch. The consolidation was undertaken in 2015 in the name of saving money, yet no polling places were eliminated in other parts of the county

Bi-partisan doesn't mean (a) balance in voting, (b) that the persons appointing them don't know the measure of the individuals they are appointing, and (c) that those from either party are not racist.

Serious question.  Who comprises the "Dem Leadership" you speak of?

Your entire post is ridiculous and without a hint of how Election Boards are operated and funded. I can see why your Elba Moderator’s remuneration is Zero. You are not worth a penny more.

You are an endless liability, Ward.

Better an endless sea of Joshes than one of you.

I'll make the same offer to you that I made to Kid, with equal chance of your taking me up on it.

You want the job, Ward? You prepared to get rid of the spam as it comes in? Ban "users?"

As for the rest of your bullshit, well, given your denial that NC's GOP was racist when even the Roberts Court knew it was racist, your opinion about "how election boards work" is laughable.

Actually it's names I have never heard of, mostly.  Nor have you.  One guy was on one of the networks yesterday describing his "no, not Bernie" stance.

Oh now you want to argue gerrymandering? Not Board of elections?
