What Bernie supporters in Super Tuesday states need to do.

It appears that election dirty tricks are going to be part of Hillary Clinton's campaign as we saw happen in Nevada with the culinary workers union. There is only one way to fight this and it's with huge voter turnout. So any of you in those states (and beyond), who want Bernie to win, it's time for you to get to work talking to your neighbors and anyone else in your sphere right now. Make sure potential Bernie voter are registered and can get to the polls. Organize voter registration squads and organize car trips to the polls. This election is too important to be sitting on your hands while crossing your fingers in hope.

Remember, short of out and out burning of the ballots, any election dirty tricks can be beaten with a voter turnout that creates huge margins for our candidate and for further insurance, have observers at the polls to make sure all the ballots are counted in front of witnesses. I know what you need to do will vary in practice according to states and even precincts, but now is not the time to sit back and observe.

Once Bernie is president we need to return to all paper ballots counted by hand
with a representative, and maybe two or three, from each side agreeing on
EVERY ballot before it is counted.
We CAN and WILL take back the vote.

This is how our country will be taken back, by mobilizing an overwhelming amount of people.
