Why do YOU not know that many tens or hundreds of thousands of voters in the California primaries will be NEW voters, i.e. they have never voted before in California?

Why do YOU not know that millions of would-be voters in the Democratic primaries this year have been disenfranchised?

Do you really think that it makes sense to give people a ballot to vote with that contains no option for voting in the Presidential primary -- the main reason why most voters come out to vote -- UNLESS the purpose is to disenfranchise them?

What do YOU have against an effort on DU to educate voters to avoid potential disenfranchisement?
