In the primary. So to answer your question yes those ballots need to be counted.

I don't understand this voter suppression that occurs during the primaries. What is wrong with the Republican wanting to vote for one of our candidates? Especially with Trump as their candidate. I don't understand why these people should be penalized.

In the end it doesn't matter if those ballots are for Hillary or for Bernie. Of course I want them to be for Bernie but in the end I want the nominee to have won fair and square with ALL votes counted.
