That was pathetic.

I listened to about five minutes and couldn’t take any more.

If that is the Democratic Party there, then the Democratic Party is screwed.

I don’t like the concept of a one party government. But if it has to be one party...not them. There is something seriously wrong with those people. That was disturbing.

The problem is that even if illegal immigrants didn’t vote (and we know they do), the district populations in places like CA, south TX etc. are so inflated with non-citizens that these districts gain disproportionate representation.

What would be interesting is to know the percentage of voters per district compared to the estimated illegal population. For example, some districts in average population states like WI, OR, WA, IN would have a higher percentage of voters because they have a relatively lower percentage of illegals in the district. Some districts in CA have relatively fewer numbers of voters becuse illegal are counted in the district as population.

I would think that voters in these low percentage illegal districts would have a voting rights case against including illegals in any census or district population count.

New York has eight ballot-qualified parties. A few of them are on the left — the Greens, the Working Families Party — and a couple seem to have no discernible philosophy (the Independence and Reform Parties.) The Women’s Equality Party was an essentially made-up “third line” that Cuomo petitioned onto the ballot four years ago. it wasn’t supposed to get the 50,000 to qualify, but it did.

Then there are the top three parties: the Democrats, Republicans, and Conservatives.

New York allows cross-endorsement, meaning that you can run on more than one party at the same time with multiple ballot listings. Most Republicans seek the endorsement of the Conservative Party. Most Democrats also seek the nomination of the Working Families Party.

I will check, but I would bet that at least one of those parties cross-endorsed Crowley, so unless he dies, moves out of state, or accepts a judicial nomination, he’s on the ballot in November.

If he chooses, he could run an active campaign, with a possibility of winning. This is essentially Lieberman-Lamont. And PACs could buy plenty of advertising on his behalf.

Voter turnout in this primary was very low.

Undoubtedly true. And it must be remembered that at any one time there are 15 to 20 million legal permanent residents in this country (green card holders). They essentially have all the rights and benefits of citizens except they can't vote or hold a US passport.

What would be interesting is to know the percentage of voters per district compared to the estimated illegal population. For example, some districts in average population states like WI, OR, WA, IN would have a higher percentage of voters because they have a relatively lower percentage of illegals in the district. Some districts in CA have relatively fewer numbers of voters because illegal are counted in the district as population.

Again, there are both illegal aliens and LPRs. I agree we should at least know those numbers. The Dems are fighting tooth and nail. CA could lose up to nine seats.

I would think that voters in these low percentage illegal districts would have a voting rights case against including illegals in any census or district population count.

The census is use for many purposes beyond allocating congressional seats. The allocation of federal resources depends on these figures as well. Does the Constitution state specifically that congressional seats will be allocated on the basis of citizens or persons.

In Maryland, an avowed Socialist was running to defeat a Democrat in one of the primaries. The candidate claimed an affiliation to Bernie Sanders.

Does anyone know if that person won?

Yep, White Liberals are so stupid with their open borders nonsense that they really thought they were going to gain power forever but instead they essentially ended up disenfranchising themselves.

Usually they waited until the old baby boomer white Liberal retired or died, but it’s looks like they are starting to get uppity and not want to wait around anymore.

John Kerry was the last White male that will ever be nominated for president, Hillary the last White female.

No I hadn’t seen those demographics, but yes, I know all about that dynamic. I’m certain that a lot of her voters just made their decision based on last names.
