Voting issues in LA County are the responsibility of LA County, not Clinton

Read these posts and tell me who's to blame.

What's going on with Los Angeles' voting machines?
...John Ennis, one of the founders of the vote-watching group Video the Vote, says that the biggest problem so far involves independents who want to vote in the Republican or Democratic primary. Poll officials seem confused over whether they're allowed to do this. (As I wrote yesterday, unaffiliated voters in California are allowed to vote for Democrats, but not for Republicans.)

...Update: In a note to the press, Hillary Clinton's campaign says: "False reports about voting problems in LA are being drudged up -- Everything is going smoothly in LA."

Update again: The L.A. Times looks into glitches -- finds a few, but notes that the election's mainly running smoothly.
