Bernie Sanders in Reno Last Night
Bernie Sanders in Reno Last Night
He's losing his voice from all of the speeches he's giving this week.

Bernie Sanders at the University of Nevada, Reno
I shot with my Canon DSLR and a 70-200 mm lens in my right hand, while broadcasting a live stream on Periscope via an iPhone in my left hand (great workout). Pre-event estimates were forecasting 2500 to attend but estimates of actual attendance seem to range from 4000-5000, and Periscope said that 2717 more tuned in to the live broadcast from my iPhone!
Although some recent comprehensive polls show Bernie ahead of all other presidential candidates from any party, apparently many states have closed primary or caucus primary elections, and you can't vote for a candidate like Bernie unless you register as a Democrat in time for the primary phase of the elections. Take out moderate Republicans who want to see Citizens united repealed, and Hillary leads Bernie among Democratic-only voters, so voter restrictions in the primaries could eliminate popular candidates like Bernie and Trump before they reach the general election unless supporters make sure that they're registered in the party of the candidate they are most likely to support, and they vote in the primary election.

ReplyDeleteThank you for these amazing photos of SANDERMONIUM UofNV Reno.
Also great you mention awareness of local primary voting rules are important. I am reliably informed the Bernie Sanders campaign has been contacted by some fantastic volunteers in the closed primary states and are going to coordinate efforts to help anyone who "FeelTheBern" qualified to vote for him in their local primary.
P. ARTHUR RILEY That's going to be very important.
