That make it impossible for a loser of a primary to run as an independent after they lose the primary of that state.

One such state is Pennsylvania. So, if he loses the PA primary, he will be unable to receive ballot access in that state. Michigan is another state.

But there's some ambiguity whether they apply to presidential elections too. My guess is, as was the case in Michigan in 2012 with Gary Johnson, it can apply if vetted by the state government. In this instance, Michigan blocked Johnson, despite many believing the sore-loser laws not applying to that presidential election. However, he was not on the ballot in Michigan in 2012.

Indiana requires 2% (44,935) of total votes cast in previous Secretary of State election by June 30. Wouldn't give Sanders time to get it done.

July 5 is deadline as a write-in. And the convention has not even started.

Instead of squandering this money on a race he cannot win, why not support the fight against Trump. FFS. That guy's ego is incredible.

Biden is our native son. I've said it so many times that PA has a large number of democrats that will not vote for anyone that call themselves a social anything. And he is not a Democrat which they are aware of. We may be hardheaded, but we're not stupid.

four more years which I find shocking. Biden is the nominee;Sanders has no way mathematically to catch him in the states that remain.

attacking Biden who is our presumptive nominee hurts our efforts to get rid of Trump.

He routinely calls Trump the worst president in our history.

we will lose the General if this continues...Sanders must go.

fool now? Seriously.

because he is looking for a way to leave the campaign, I think you might be in error.

Because that’s the only way this sort of move makes sense.

SCOREBOARD

be for this with Trump trying to kill all of us with Corona,Dreamers, caged babies and a SCOTUS pick on the line... not to mention that Trump plans to go after social security, Medicare, and Medicaid in a second term and we will lose all health care...kids are already going hungry because of Trump. And of course, he may very well destroy our Republic and / or lob nukes at someone...Trump is nuts. He needs to go and Sanders needs to bow out sooner rather than later.

I like the idea that Bernie is allowing voters from later primaries to participate.

SCOREBOARD

Offices are closing down and workers told to work from home. And Sanders is holding office opening parties? Really?

Guess that 'concern-speech' on the pandemic was just for the rubes. So be it for the Senator from Vermont 'telegraphing' his exit.

he's got no path to the nomination. He needs to end this charade of a campaign.

to Coronavirus.

Bernie's money will be no good after that. Might as well spend all those $27 donations before the inevitable happens.

by putting people in gatherings as opposed to what so many of the states are doing trying to get no contact.

Now it's personal. Do it Mr. Independent Senator from Vermont. I hope the humiliation is epic. You think you're going to go to Joe's house and try to disrupt? Ain't happening. Those people in that area love Joe. You're going to be relegated to the dustbin of history and I for one couldn't be happier.

either from a legit news site or official Sanders campaign site/social media?

Hopefully they'll do some voter registration operations that will help us in November.

based on this:

What concerns me is that people won't vote because they are afraid of the virus. Either way, i think he loses big.

Found this: https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/bernie-sanders-pa-field-offices-coronavirus-20200313.html

It was the only source reporting it earlier today.

is there an issue with the source?

I doubt BS will win here!

He cant seriously believe he has any chance.

He want's to go down the most hated man in history.

given his competition. (hint: it is currently residing in the WH for unfathomable reasons)

history.

This is why Bernie won't stop. His campaign staff needs the work.

Otherwise, it is futile and counterproductive.
