Scarborough: Dems telling voters to go 'straight to hell'

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough argued Monday that the Democratic primary process is a blatant example of voter disenfranchisement, and said he doesn't know why Democratic voters are putting up with it.

"Why does the Democratic Party even have voting booths? This system is so rigged," he said on his "Morning Joe" show Monday.

Scarborough said the Wyoming caucus on Saturday was the latest example of Democrats ignoring their voters. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., won that state 56-44, but Hillary Clinton will end up with more delegates after her 12-point loss.

Estimates Monday morning were that because of support from so-called super-delegates, or Democratic Party leaders, Clinton won the delegate count 11-7.

Scarborough said that shows the Democratic primary is a "rigged system" that favors party leaders over voters. He said the Democratic system is especially ironic given how Democrats continue to complain about voter disenfranchisement, especially when it comes to issues like voter ID.
