PolitiFact rates Bernie's voter turnout claims 'Mostly False'

Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel

Politico
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and his wife Jane, gesture at supporters as they take a walk in New York's Times Square, Tuesday, April 19.
"It is one of Bernie Sanders' most repeated lines on the trail: "We win when voter turnout is high, we lose when it is low," he often says, particularly in the run-up to caucuses and primaries, such as the one in delegate-rich New York on Tuesday.

"But that claim is "Mostly False," according to a fact check and analysis by PolitiFact published Tuesday, finding that while the Vermont senator has won several states thanks to large turnout, his overall argument is "pretty thin.' " . . .

Well, here are two voters for Bernie:

"The two ice cream makers received a chilly reception from authorities at Capitol Hill, before they were scooped up and arrested" 

 Who do they support for president? I can't say, but this may offer a clue:
Bernie Sanders gets his own Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavour

"Ben Cohen says the solid chocolate on top represents the few people who hold the nation’s wealth, a situation which Mr Sanders wants to change"  

Their charities include "Environment, Civil Rights, Social Action, Advocacy, Social Justice"
Philanthropy, Voluntarism & Grantmaking Foundations.
