"Forgets" is your word. The article says there's a challenge to Sanders's registration that will likely be cleared up sometime next month. But say to try to make this a conspiracy, just like everything else.

Funny how they didn't forget Hillary.

Why bother? Bernie wasn't gonna get even close here - maybe 0 delegates even!

He'll probably get at least 7 out of 20.

Jesus, my facebook feed is packed with people's heads exploding over this story.  Anyone who thinks the media isn't on Bernie's side needs to get their brain checked.

What actually happened:
  • Bernie was a dumbass and waited until literally the last minute to submit his registration
  • Registration didn't get e-mailed out until the next morning
  • The DC DNC put Bernie's name on the list anyway
  • Some random asshole activist noticed the discrepancy and put out a challenge
  • DC DNC is going to change the rules to allow Bernie to be on anyway

What people think happened:
  • Hillary called DWS and said "I don't want Bernie on the ballot on DC, because it's the very last primary, has almost no delegates, and Bernie probably won't even be viable, but why take a chance?"
  • DWS told some minimum-wage schmucks at the DC county office to wait a few hours to forward Bernie's e-mail after he submits his registration at the last minute
  • They got caught with their hands in the cookie jar

As for why they didn't "forget" Hillary, she probably sent her registration in months in advance of the deadline like the responsible leader crooked corrupt bitch she is.

There's no reason to try to use logic. These insane people also blame Hillary and the DNC for the Republican-controlled Arizona election system. They're beyond help.

No, Bernie was not late with his registration.
