The DNC is trying to pull in Arizona what they pulled in Florida!!

[Lorien]

Here in Florida my Independent friends who had registered as Democrats many months ago were all turned away on election day and during early voting, told that they "weren't registered", even when they HAD their registration! Now the SAME shenanigans are happening in Arizona!


Something Is Going Seriously Wrong at Arizona Polls Today

Arizona’s primaries aren’t even done yet, and there’s already legal action being taken as a result of incompetence or possibly even intentional sabotage.

Leaders from the Arizona branch of the Democratic Party have confirmed that its lawyers are officially making an inquiry after multiple Democratic voters showed up to the polls only to find that they were listed as independents, Republicans, or had no party affiliation at all.

Many voters wound up having to wait in line under the hot Arizona sun only to find that they were ineligible to vote for the candidates of their choice. To add insult to injury, the polling locations have been so poorly planned that many voters had to wait in line up to four hours before finding out that their information had been improperly filed.

1. The State and counties are running the primary

Just as in Florida.

[LonePirate]

6. Shame on you for injecting facts into the discussion.

The OP was on a fine DNC rant. Why derail it with the truth?

[Kip Humphrey]

15. You're right! That suggests there is some sort of interstate collusion from a national organization.

Good observation!

[NCTraveler]

40. Do you realize how many people would have to be involved?

It's unreal how many people would have to be involved in this conspiracy.

What we have seen is incompetence in some places in some states. Incompetence at certain polling places. Some of these in Clinton areas, some in Sanders.

It's not a conspiracy but is something that must be addressed.

[mythology]

59. It doesn't matter if it makes sense.

All that matters is that it's a desperate attempt to cling to the belief that Sanders must be more popular because they prefer him.

A lot of these posts remind me of this:

61. Thank you for the link.

I read it a bit and bookmarked to finish tomorrow. I like the start.

[Lorien]

18. ANYONE can apply to be a poll worker

and poll workers threw Dems out of polling places on election day in 2000.

Your people volunteer to phone bank for Bernie and phone bank for Hillary instead. Now you feign innocence on this as well? You are completely full of it and you KNOW it!

[1StrongBlackMan]

41. Wow...

Saw that on the internet, did you?

[Andy823]

65. I think you will need a lot more of these to pass out

Seems like a whole lot of people can't seem to understand the fact that the state "REPUBLICANS" are in charge of this mess. I guess its just easier for some to ignore those facts.

[1StrongBlackMan]

66. And, while it doesn't fit the crazy ...

if this IS, in fact, Maricopa county designed chaos, the target is far more likely to be trump than ANY Democrat.

[yellowcanine]

50. Yes, I was wondering how problems could be the fault of the DNC.

The DNC is not responsible for maintaining registration lists, county election boards do that.

[Dem2]

51. Quit it with this "reality" hogwash

nobody wants to hear of these things.

[Jitter65]

2. You mean they are trying to steal votes from Hillary??? nt

[polichick]

3. Corrupt assholes.

[djean111]

4. I am not going to "unite" with what I consider ratfuckers.

This is getting ridiculous.

[RandySF]

10. You're blaming the wrong ratfuckers

This is a state-run election.

[Crabby Abbey]

55. No one is switching parties to vote for Hillary.

This is pretty obviously rat-fucking from one side.

[HereSince1628]

46. True, it's hard to unite with the antagonists

"The Party" has a serious problem. It's Establishment can't live with the progressive Left, and it can't win without it.

It can't decide whether to quit disenfranchising the Left, whether thry should court the Left rather than demand fealty, or try to scare the Left by suggesting that the Left has much more to fear from Trump than the disenfranchisement and treatment as illegitimates at the hands of The TRUE Party Loyalists.

I'm guessing the plan is to continue the abuse until the Left gets its head on straight.

[rbrnmw]

5. The DNC is so pervasive and evil they are everywhere

[kerry-is-my-prez]

37. They screwed up my paycheck and wired funds from my bank to the Clinton campaign!

[Vattel]

7. Why don't you think that we are dealing with simple incompetence?

[pangaia]

8. We may as well be voting in Russia !!

[peacebird]

9. Pretty disgusting... And the Dem party in Arizona will "investigate".., yea, right. SURE they will..

[FlatBaroque]

11. The Clinton team has been busy for 7 years laying the groundwork

for 2016. That includes the fraud at the local level. I really do not like Hillary Clinton even a little.

[RandySF]

14. My head is spinning

One day she's incompetent, the next she's an evil genius.

[Lorien]

22. Your head isn't what's spinning, Randy.

[1StrongBlackMan]

44. Kind of like the gop's characterization of ...

President Obama. Huh?

[Tarc]

12. Everything is a tinfoil conspiracy with Camp Sanders, ins't it?

It can't ever be simple bureaucratic error due to unexpected turnout could it?

I mean, why go for the sensible explanation when you can grasp for the batty one?

[Ed Suspicious]

32. She has so many bureaucratic errors working in her favor! She should

play the lottery with her luck!

[Snotcicles]

13. This DNC would make Jimmy Carter hang his head in shame. nt

[randome]

16. The DNC does not run state and county primaries.

There is a known computer problem with a new vendor in one county so far. Not much of a conspiracy, is it?

[Snotcicles]

24. I'm talking about in general, the way they are trying to stifle the competition.

He's pretty keen on holding fair elections.

[upaloopa]

29. If all else fails try reason

Or not

[brooklynite]

17. Yeah! Who cares if Arizona has a REPUBLICAN Governor and a REPUBLICAN Secretary of State!!!

It MUST be Debbie Wasserman Schultz' fault!!! There can be NO OTHER EXPLANATION!

[reddread]

19. as if state officials cant be bought

dirt cheap

[bunnies]

30. Lol.

I like your style.

[FlatBaroque]

53. I AM SICK OF THIS SHIT

[Onlooker]

20. Bernie and Trump appear to have a lock on the paranoid delusional vote n/t

[RandySF]

21. Don't forget the Republicans are also voting

This is not a caucus. Both parties are sharing the same voting spaces.

[sufrommich]

23. USUncut it is a mouthpiece for the Sanders campaign.

What they're not mentioning is the number of independents showing up demanding to vote in a closed primary:


"Voters are experiencing long lines at the polls because of fewer polling sites this year and a surge in independent voters turning up at the polls and wanting to cast provisional ballots. You have to be registered with one of the three parties for your vote to count. But federal law requires you still be given a ballot."

http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/03/22/live-arizona-primary-coverage-presidential-preference-election/82096726/



In other words,the Sanders campaign did a crappy job educating their voters on what they had to do in order to vote and now they're blaming the evil DNC for it.

[randome]

26. But Hillary personally went to each and every voter and told them they could vote!

It's the only possible explanation!!!!! Oh, and
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Treat your body like a machine. Your mind like a castle.[/center][/font][hr]

[sufrommich]

28. Clinton is leading with registered democrats. Not much education

needed considering her advantage. Sanders,on the other hand,has not won a closed primary yet.

[Trenzalore]

49. His campaign has been shown to have a really shitty ground game. nt.

[kristopher]

64. Arizona SecState website says primary is open voting.

Check for yourself.

[TheProgressive]

25. When people steal elections....

They subvert our democracy and the rightful power of the people...

This is the fuel for revolt...or should be...

[upaloopa]

31. Nobody is stealing an election

Independents can't vote in a closed Dem primary

[geek tragedy]

27. Is this the denial or anger stage? nt

[Juicy_Bellows]

33. Whether you are for Clinton or Sanders hindering in any way the voting process is shameful.

I would hope to see universal concern over this, sadly I do not.

[msongs]

34. bernie actually gets 100% of votes cast in every election but fraud makes it look like less nt

[Solid Snake1]

35. Uh oh

More baseless conspiracy theories! "My candidate is losing"! Hillary must be cheating!

[Jarqui]

36. This is likely not an accident. We seem to be seeing a pattern.

The campaign that seems to be consistently getting the short end of the stick is Sanders.

From that, sorry but there's a bit of an odor.

[creeksneakers2]

62. Maybe it just looks that way

Sanders supporters look for every little problem and share it nationally. Hillary's people don't.

[COLGATE4]

68. We seem to be seeing a pattern here:

The candidate who gets the most votes, wins. Remarkable how that works.

[1StrongBlackMan]

38. Curious ...

What does the DNC have to do with voter registration designation controlled by the County Clerk?

And why would:

Arizona branch of the Democratic Party have confirmed that its lawyers are officially making an inquiry after multiple Democratic voters showed up to the polls only to find that they were listed as independents, Republicans, or had no party affiliation at all.

The Arizona branch of the Democratic Party be making official inquiries about it?

Disenfranchisement is a terrible thing and is paranoid delusions.

[RandySF]

39. Ignorance or just seeking out an excuse.

[jillan]

43. Randy you do understand that this effected Hillary voters today too?

[RandySF]

45. Yes it has

And you're the first to acknowledge that fact. It's incompetence on the part of election officials, not a DNC plot.

[jillan]

56. Agreed - this is stupid incompetence more than anything else - as far as we know at this moment.

[1StrongBlackMan]

47. And republican voters, too ...

Ahh, the evil genius of the DNC.

[uponit7771]

67. +1

[jillan]

42. omg - I didn't realize this happened in Florida too. It's been nuts around here today.

[workinclasszero]

48. All righty then

[onecaliberal]

52. When a party goes to this length to make sure you can't vote maybe it's time to leave.

[geek tragedy]

58. Primary is run by state not party nt

[Onlooker]

54. Hillary hardly needs to cheat to win; it's Bernie who is going after superdelegates and ...

... depending on the l east democratic process, caucuses, for his votes.

[redstateblues]

57. Are BSS watching too many X Files reruns or too much "Ancient Aliens"?

Every time Bernie loses it some freaking conspiracy. C'mon people.

[PADemD]

60. Could the AZ voters file a class action lawsuit against the state?

[shanti]

63. My bro just called from az

He said maricopa county still has many people in line and the polls are closed...hmmmm.
