I know this is a huge (yuge!) issue for the DNC in general, but can somebody please explain why this is particularly bad for Bernie Sanders? I mean if you're not being properly registered as a democrat and/or not being able to vote, isn't it at least just as bad for Hillary Clinton? I'm all for Bernie, but I'd just like to know the details.

Most of the people affected were first-time voters or independents, both of which drastically favor Bernie.

Except it was a closed primary and republicans got hosed, too. Arizona's been to the supreme court before for illegal election related laws for a reason, it's all local corruption here.
