(12,008 posts)39. Except...that's not what she said
She was specifically asked about young voter turnout in Ann Arbor, where Bernie had a huge rally. She responded that lines there were 3 hours long. Which by the way is an issue I suggest Michigan's Democratic governor tries to address before November, since college-aged voters heavily favored Hillary over Trump in 2016.
She never said the only reason Bernie is losing is voter suppression. In fact, she even said we need to do more to turn young voters out. What she said about voter suppression was in response to a specific question about turnout in Ann Arbor, where students did have to wait 3 hours to vote on Tuesday.
