Twitter feed says 1.2 million turned away and they are staying in line AZ

[bkkyosemite]

https://twitter.com/shivani_112

Feed says all NEW Dem's were turned away...polling places just for this primary from 200 to 60. Furious on Twitter and elsewhere...

[geek tragedy]

1. Not everything on Twitter is true nt

[bkkyosemite]

2. She's in line

800,000 voters to 60 poll locations ...was 200 before this primary...This is voter suppression plane and simple!

[geek tragedy]

6. I suspect 20% of the entire state standing in line

a would draw major coverage

[LisaM]

56. It'd be like the rapture!

I am sure it's maddening and I would be super pissed too, but you make your case more convincingly with facts.

[Hortensis]

184. I suspect more than a few of all those excited

conservatives turning out hope the rapture takes them before this finishes playing out. Or will. How about all those who voted for Cruz in Utah? Just wait until they look closer and find out what was behind curtain #3.

[stevenleser]

133. C'mon, you know that every man, woman, child, toddler & baby is excited to vote for Bernie

The entire state is turning out! They're still waiting to vote!!!111!1!1!1!1elevens!!!!

[one_voice]

19. I don't think she's in line

because;

Applied to be a Bernie delegate for my district in Florida. Fingers crossed!

11:19 AM - 22 Mar 2016

‏@shivani_112

I really think Bernie is going to win Utah. And Arizona is going to be our toughest state. So I hope you all phone bank Arizona.

11:19 PM - 19 Mar 2016


I don't think she lives in AZ.

I'm not commenting on how many are in line, just that I don't believe she's giving a first hand account.

[stevenleser]

130. She is in line...at the all night diner in Florida.

p.s., good catch

[George II]

200. 800,000 voters is a lot less than 1.2 million, and half of them voted which is about right...

...for a primary.

You may also want to research the reality of that "1.2 million" up above.

[rhett o rick]

51. Yet I bet you think everything on CNN is true. The Big Money is at work subverting our election

system and you choose to side with them. Are you afraid of them or envy their power. In any case eventually we will throw those corrupt bastards that some worship, into the streets.

[BeanMusical]

86. +1000

[Ghost Dog]

177. Mostly true voices from real people on the spot, geek tragedy,

presumably, like it or not.

[geek tragedy]

185. In this case no, not even using Berniemath nt

[Ghost Dog]

191. I refer to voices raised in complaint,

not the number to which you refer.

[Solid Snake1]

3. Well

if some random person on twitter says then it must be true.

[MattP]

4. 1.2 million more than triple the people who voted?

[LonePirate]

5. That tweet does not pass the smell test.

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. Excuses excuses

Lose with dignity.

[artislife]

29. We will remind you of that in November. nt

[artislife]

34. I don't know what you are talking about. nt

[Agschmid]

37. Let me remind you...

[artislife]

41. That is not threatening.

I said I felt that is why I would put them on ignore so I wouldn't threaten them. So that I couldn't see their ugly words that was igniting these emotions.

Gee, you need to understand some things between actual threats and feelings.


Good try.

[Agschmid]

44. Now walk it back.

They see me whip, they see me ne-ne. Now walk it back.

m.

Sure is interesting to see how you dance around that actual post.

[artislife]

48. Read it again, sweetheart.

[Agschmid]

50. This part?

Wishing harm to them and their children...

How could I miss the voice of a true progressive.

[artislife]

52. Try the whole sentence

It conveys a thought not a threat. I put people on ignore so not to utter or post.

But I cannot help you if you cannot see the difference. Your education is your problem.

[Agschmid]

53. So first you want to harm supporters and their children?

And then you personally insult my intelligence?

On a roll tonight, better add me to that ignore list too.

[artislife]

55. no and yes. In that order.

[artislife]

59. I like your photos.

But I was warned about you out of the gate and you are not allowed to be on my jury. From week one.

[Agschmid]

63. Yes it seems I'm the talk of the town.

Hopefully no harm comes my way.

[artislife]

65. Oh please. We are a country apart..in more ways than one

[yuiyoshida]

140. AND the results are in!

141. Thanks Yuki...this has been a strange night. nt

[yuiyoshida]

145. Yui :)

its okay, I guess its better than being called Yoshi, since that's a boys name.

[Cha]

152. I'm glad Agschimd exposed what she said about Hillary supporters. "..Wishing harm to them and their

children..."

No way he should have been hidden for telling the truth.

[George II]

205. Yes they are!!!

Subject = I didn't threaten kids

Alerter comments: "But I think you are a receptacle for shit". This poster has been OTT in a number of recent posts, even to the point of fantasizing harming children. Now they make this disgusting comment. No place for this on DU.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I think this entire post needs to be locked and several of the posters given a time out. Oh, that's right. We can't do that anymore
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Abusive
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Voting to hide since both of these posters appear incapable of using their big boy/girl words.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Agree with the alerter.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: An apparent child poster

[Bobbie Jo]

196. The WHOLE thought process is disturbing as hell.

Good Lord.

[George II]

203. This is what you said. Exactly word for word:

"I just went through and put every h supporter on ignore

I felt my blood boiling and wishing harm to them and their children."

[Cha]

71. Good grief.. who says that?! "Wishing harm to them and their childiren.."!? She damn well better

leave my kids out of this.

[Agschmid]

74. Bad people say shit like that.

No other way to put it.

[KMOD]

96. Right? That's some sick shit.

[ismnotwasm]

97. Yeah that's fucked up for sure

Damn

[bravenak]

100. Sure is.

I told you a few of my family members recieved nasty messages? I won't post what they wrote here, it was that evil. I think people need to calm down and not wish harm to family members of people they oppose on a message board.

[Cha]

118. I didn't know that.. I'm so sorry, brave. It feels creepy even reading that she wishes harm

to Hillary supporters and their children.

For all she knows my kids could be for BS.. that's how fucking brilliant that statement is. Forget about me.. I'll have to tell my kids what a BS fan said on DU about them. They already know about them piling on me because I blocked someone from Hillary's group who was later banned as a troll.

[bravenak]

127. Don't worry

They would take one look and turn right around and RUN if they met the folks they talked to like that. I'm just trying to help them not hurt themselves.

But we will see more crap until this is over. Just keep blocking them.

[bvf]

143. Yeah, simply hating them should be enough for anyone.

[ismnotwasm]

148. I don't see threats there

Do you see threats? I got a troll harassing me and Bravenek has some asshole sending her fucked up letters.

[bvf]

158. So, you don't dispute my point, then. Bigots everywhere

will be grateful, certainly.

[ismnotwasm]

162. I'm not hashing that shit out with you

We are talking about someone threatening children, and you want to bring up a statement that was not only apologized for, but has nothing to do the the situation at hand simply to attack a active African American poster.

Bigots everywhere will be grateful, certainly

[senz]

207. That's not true. She made no threat. Look, read, and think.

[bvf]

214. An apology that is self-deleted is a non-apology.

Last edited Thu Mar 24, 2016, 11:37 PM - Edit history (1)

So is any apology that smacks of "I regret getting caught."

Of course you don't want to hash it out. You'd look ridiculous to even try.

[ismnotwasm]

146. That is so gross

And so horribly wrong

One of the repeat trolls here (Name removed) know both my first name AND my husbands first name. Given the nature of social media it wouldn't be that hard to figure out, I guess. I hope it's not a sock. I hate this kind of shit you know? Attempts at intimidation, threats. It creeps me out and makes me want to have a long, long shower.

[bravenak]

151. It creeps me out too.

And just think of the time they put into obsessing over a poster on a message board. How troubling. I think some folks need to back off and find their own lives to live.

[ismnotwasm]

155. Exactly

It would be best.

[yuiyoshida]

159. I don't get that either Bravenak

I got some very nasty messages sent to me via my inbox. One I reported and the person got banned for saying "You aren't even a real Asian"...Urusai baka yaro! I read that crap on Discussionist because someone sent me a link. Nasty crap...racist, homophobic and full of misogyny. I never thought I would read that on a Democratic website.

[bravenak]

163. That is so wrong

I'm glad they got banned. We need to clean things up and all just chill out.

[KMOD]

91. You need to seek help.

You wish harm to children?

WTF is wrong with you?

[hrmjustin]

94. Yes a good try and successful.

[sheshe2]

101. Oh yes it is a threat.

What a stupid ugly post. You wish us AND OUR CHILDREN BODILY HARM! YOUR WORDS!!!!

YOUR WORDS^^^^^^^

You said it and you own it. When a poster here made like comments to Skinners children I alerted him. They were gone in a NY minute.

Spin and spin, you own your words. Who does that, who says that? Who wishes bodily harm on another DUer and their CHILDREN!

That was a threat pure and simple.

[Ghost Dog]

178. Bad thoughts, artislife.

Thanks for confessing and controlling yourself.

[giftedgirl77]

186. Lolololol, you need to get a life.

What a sad little person you must be. What happened to the whole not letting supporters cloud your judgment? Maybe now you can understand why sooooo many nonSanders supporters are so turned off by his nasty grassroots campaign?

[obamanut2012]

47. Wow about the part about the children

[Agschmid]

49. I know right...

Disgusting.

[artislife]

54. At least I didn't cluster bomb children like the nice woman in your avatar

Or sign the death warrent on the middle east which gave rise to the terrorists who killed people today in Brussels.

[Agschmid]

66. No you just wished harm upon Clinton's supporters kids.

Ain't no thang.

[artislife]

69. Oh. Are you stalking me?

That seems very threatening.

I thought you were better than that.

[Agschmid]

72. What's threating? The part where you wished hard upon people's kids?

And no I'm not stalking you. Just sick of the double standard.

[artislife]

73. What double standard?

[sheshe2]

117. You threatened us and our children.

That is a fact. I thought you were better than that.

[senz]

210. She threatened no one.

I've sure you've read about witch hunts and witch trials. This is how they get started. People twist the words of others to mean what they want them to mean so they can do what they want to do to someone they don't like.

Please do not contribute to injustice and the persecution of an innocent woman.

[senz]

208. I'm so sorry to see you going through this.

I have experienced something similar from the same person.

Please protect yourself. They're not being rational.

You are valued and appreciated.

[Agschmid]

64. Well that's disgusting.

Just add it to the list tonight.

Only problem is... This is an adult saying they wish harm upon a candidates supporter and their kids.

Big difference.

[tazkcmo]

76. Hyperbole.

And it's not disgusting. It's human. Just because you have an "impure thought" doesn't make you a bad person. In fact, she or he is a good person for recognizing that having a thought like that means a time out is in order. By the way, by your standards, most every parent I've ever known, including my own, are horrible, horrible people.

[Agschmid]

77. Oh cool so most people often wish harm upon other people's kids.

Like I said upthread... Ain't no thang.

[tazkcmo]

79. No silly.

Their OWN kids! Truly horrible, horrible people!

[KMOD]

98. Holy Shit, No, No, No.

WTF is wrong with you?

[bravenak]

106. What a scary post!

[passiveporcupine]

160. Well well, I'm seeing the exact results I expected

When Skinner told us there would no longer be bans for five hides, and he was reinstating hidden Hill supporters. Yeah, he didn't say Hillary, but we knew what he meant. In other words, hides have no meaning any more and all constraints are gone. Everyone is free to be as openly insulting to other members as they want because they know it will never hurt them.

Nice move Skinner.

And you thought it was ugly here before.

If anyone thinks this is going to wear off after the primaries are done, you're fooling yourself. There are permanent rifts that will never heal on this board.

[Cha]

121. No, it was vile, vicious, and violent.. and damn well better get a hide.

[Fla Dem]

194. If you think that having thoughts about harming kids is normal,

I wouldn't want you around my kids. It is not normal any more than fantasizing about having sex with kids is normal. It's distributing and far from normal. But then again, your candidate has disturbing fantasies as well.

[Bobbie Jo]

195. The whole thought process is disturbing.

Can't believe I'm reading this here.

[tazkcmo]

58. Oh please.

If that's a threat then John Elway should have me locked up as a dangerous, ranting, madman.

[Agschmid]

60. Well if it's not a threat it's still disgusting.

I wish harm upon them and their children.

You want supporters like that on your team like that? More power to you.

[tazkcmo]

81. I don't get to pick and choose.

No more than you get to pick and choose who supports your candidate. But for shits and giggles, I'll answer your question this way: I'll take this one.

[Agschmid]

82. And we've got it, support for harming supporters kids.

With friends like those... Well you know.

[bravenak]

116. I never once thought about hurting my kids.

I do not think many here would ever think about that.

[KMOD]

128. No sane person would

We are dealing with a sick effer here.

This effer's banning can not come soon enough.

What a disgusting piece of filth.

[bravenak]

129. It was like he thought we actually thought what he thought

Wow!!! Amazing.

[KMOD]

120. Are you effin kidding me.

Some trolls are annoying.

Some trolls are humorous.

Some trolls are pathological asses who need to be shunned and locked out.

The fact that you are encouraging this pathological ass is crazy. Maybe it's time for you to go as well.

[artislife]

126. I think you screen name suits you to a t.

say it outloud.

[KMOD]

131. My screen name is my name

And I will proudly use my name to shout down sick effers.

[artislife]

135. Now that makes it funny. nt

[bravenak]

142. This is just too much anger over a candidate

[marble falls]

212. There's just too much anger, period.

[bravenak]

215. We need to chill the hell out

Everybody has bad thoughts, I hope we just move on and stop trippin on each other constantly. Both candidates are good. Damn

[KMOD]

147. ...

I'll take the high road.

[ismnotwasm]

153. All you gotta do here is not long down know what I'm sayin?

[artislife]

156. That'll be a first.

You were in and out so much for your postings.

[marble falls]

213. Both you two need to take a week off and chill out. I'm angry with both of you over ...

how much time I've spent on the business of this nasty little thread. It should be locked. I've had to read everything here and it really is saddening.

[ismnotwasm]

149. Yes you did

You think it's funny?

[one_voice]

68. .

[Agschmid]

84. It was a good night for her, tough week ahead but April is looking great!

Go Hillary!

[artislife]

110. Lol!

[sheshe2]

150. I thought you put us all on ignore?

Then why are you answering us!?

You fibbed again. Lol!

[artislife]

154. Not achmed and you were on time out.

But you are going, probably.

not achtmead, though. I like the photos.

[sheshe2]

166. "But you are going, probably."

I am going on time out again????

You are the arbitrator of who gets time out now?

not achtmead, though. I like the photos.

Nice if you would respect them enough to spell their name correctly. One post alone you spelled it differently AND INCORRECTLY TWICE. It is spelled Agschmid

I alerted on your tweet or whatever it was. No answer so it was probably already alerted on. I do plan to follow up with Skinner tomorrow. He does not take kindly to children being threatened. I know this as I alerted him in a PM when his children came to play on DU. That said poster was gone the next day, You do not threaten children here. That is low.

[artislife]

170. You are probably going on ignore

is what I meant. which I didn't do obviously.


Oh and please....I "misspoke" there. That should be good enough for hill supporters.

[bravenak]

174. Like my apology was good enough for Bernie supporters?

Apparently, there are different standards of behavior for his supporters than for hers. I wonder if hers ever track people down and find their posts on different sites and harass their twitter followers and stuff like what I have dealt with. Bernie must be proud.

[sheshe2]

175. What exactly did you misspeak on?

You are probably going on ignore
is what I meant. which I didn't do obviously.

Oh and please....I "misspoke" there. That should be good enough for hill supporters

WTF? Are you blathering about. It should be good enough for us hill supporters???? What? You only meant to put me on ignore and didn't?

Dig deeper. More snark from you.

I "misspoke" there. That should be good enough for hill supporters.

You misspoke you misspoke you misspoke on threats on Duers and their children.

YOU MISSPOKE! YOU MISSPOKE YOU MISSPOKE.

I alerted Skinner on your jury leave. His children were threatened here as well. I mailed Skinner when that happened and he was not pleased. He does not take kindly to attacks on children.

[artislife]

176. I am sorry I voted for the war....

What you get upset about is funny, herher3

[sheshe2]

179. What is that suppose to mean?

All you have left is ridiculing my name on DU. That is so sad.

[bravenak]

182. Very

Shameful. This angry, vituperative and vindictive lashing out is over the top and absolutely vicious and nasty.

[wildeyed]

190. She wants to play dozens with you, I guess.

And KMOD Making fun of screen names is similar to a Godwin's violation. Sure sign that the person committing the fallacy has already lost the argument.

[senz]

211. She "threatened" NO ONE.

What you are doing is wrong.

[ismnotwasm]

157. I know right?

Hillarious

[stevenleser]

85. Wish I could say I was surprised. That level of anger and nastiness has come out

from Tons of Bernie supporters here and all over the web on multiple occasions. It's who they are.

Wishing harm to people's children? Wow.

[Agschmid]

87. Yup.

It's disgusting.

[revmclaren]

167. tazkcmo has been flagged for review....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=175554

Lets hope mirt does the same for another disgusting poster.

[revmclaren]

204. artislife now flagged for review...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=324396

The other disgusting poster on mirts radar.

The air around here slowly clearing up.

[ismnotwasm]

99. I'm pretty shocked right now.

I've read a lot a terrible things, usually lies about Hillary, but certainly not always. I've never read anything like that though. Jesus.

[ismnotwasm]

161. An interesting point

--That's an area I disagree with Hillary as well, BTW.-

It's a ugly presentation for sure, and requires a bit of parsing out, but I'm still left with the question who SAYS stuff like that?

[Ghost Dog]

180. There has been nastiness from both sides, sadly. n/t

[bravenak]

104. I Am NOT surprised, to say the LEAST

[stevenleser]

111. Yep, so much for folks who tried to suggest you made it up.

How many examples do we need of over the top anger and nastiness from Sanders supporters.

[bravenak]

113. Oh! Nothing they do is wrong..

I still see that monster harassment op about you up and boy are people PROUD. Now wishing actual harm on people is kinda worse than saying stuff nice about Hillary, but what do I know?

[stevenleser]

119. Yep, hey I'm just waiting for them to realize that they surpassed the ugliness and nastiness

of anything done on FR or any of the DU stalker sites. I've read the stuff said about me on those sites and it's nasty but not like from Sanders supporters. At some point they are going to regret their behavior but it will be too late. They own it!

[bravenak]

125. I do not think they know what regret is

[hrmjustin]

95. Wow! Talk about creepy.

[JonLeibowitz]

103. That's fucked up.

[kristopher]

108. Do you lack the capacity to feel shame?

What you are doing is blatantly lying. You should be ashamed.

[JTFrog]

201. Oh for fuck's sake. Can't believe your own lying eyes eh?

The poster who said they wish harm on Hillary supporters and their kids should be fucking ashamed. Oh, and PPR'd. Like yesterday.

[cosmicone]

112. Bernie had an I after his name except that he chose D for advantage

So if you vote for Bernie, THAT would be the first time you voted for someone without a D after their name.

Which means the last time when? 2008? 2004?

[DanTex]

188. Wow.

[Bobbie Jo]

189. What the actual fuck?

This place used to have standards.

[BeanMusical]

90. WTF are you talking about?

[alcibiades_mystery]

32. Nah

Hillary's gonna win in a landslide, and nobody will even remember the primary pouters who predicted otherwise enough to laugh at them.

[hrmjustin]

89. How so?

[jillan]

124. These were Hillary voters too.

[Zynx]

8. That number can't possibly be accurate. Obama only got 1 million votes total in AZ in 2012 in the GE

That's with independents being able to vote for him and GE turnout.

[bkkyosemite]

9. There are tweets like this all over twitter in AZ. There are posts on FB

[msongs]

10. I heard that 4 trillion were turned away lol nt

[obamanut2012]

16. lol

[geek tragedy]

57. #berniemath nt

[Agschmid]

11. Well that's totally made up.

[bkkyosemite]

12. Look stuff all over.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511555513

[Agschmid]

14. You realize the 1.2 million number is just blatantly false right?

[Recursion]

13. Tumblr says 17 TRILLION people were turned away in AZ (nt)

[XRubicon]

15. 1.21 Gigawatts turned away!

Great Scott!

[OilemFirchen]

17. Photographic evidence:

And this is just one precinct.

[Agschmid]

18. Ya Mecca'in me crazy with all this!

[OilemFirchen]

24. Allah lay off.

As they say in Mumbai: "Sari".

[Agschmid]

28. :)

[obamanut2012]

25. omg

[Lorien]

20. I'm seeing the same on FB. There are numbers being posted for disenfranchised

voters to call. It's beyond absurd that the AP called the state with only TWO PERCENT of the precincts reporting EARLY VOTES, not even today's votes! This is looking more and more like full blown election fraud.

[Agschmid]

26. The state traditionally has upwards of 70% early voters.

[Ghost Dog]

181. This appears to be a very serious case of disenfranchisement

methods directed against one candidate, then.

Presumably, MSM is not all over this, so other means should be employed to raise a stink.

My best wishes to all from an international observer.



https://mobile.twitter.com/shivani_112

[yardwork]

187. I doubt that it's aimed at any one candidate. Looks like simple disorganization.

In North Carolina we had long lines and people turned away because of the voter suppression laws passed by the Teabag Republicans who took over our state. The voter suppression is aimed at reducing the Democratic vote, which affected both Hillary and Bernie.

Our enemy is the Republican Party.

[Ghost Dog]

192. Agree about the (R)s.

But isn't it the case that in the (D) primary, new or somehow unregistered or misregistered voters who want to vote are more likely to be for Mr. Sanders?

And what about where there are fewer ballot stations in certain districts compared to others, or is that not also relevant?

Were there any problems with running out of ballots thus time?

[yardwork]

193. i think it's very difficult to assess which D candidate is hurt more.

Certainly, when the voter suppression laws were passed in NC years ago - planned to take effect in 2016 - nobody would have guessed that Bernie Sanders would be running.

The plan from the beginning was to suppress the vote of Democrats. Our teabag guv is up for reelection, along with one of our moran Rethug senators.

[Jitter65]

21. Yea, because Twitter is the gold standard of voting verification. nt

[obamanut2012]

22. Jan Brewer just tweeted it was a googly brazilian

[Lorien]

23. Info for disinfranchised voters:

[Juicy_Bellows]

27. Thanks for this! Nt.

[grossproffit]

43. That's not good.

[JaneyVee]

30. Did you expect Bernie fans to not go apoplectic watching Bernies campaign on life support?

[RandySF]

33. .

[Stallion]

35. That's 12 Rose Bowls-Must be a LOOOOONG Line

...but if you read it on Twitter

[RandySF]

36. If this is how milenials are going to get their information

we're in a lot of trouble.

[grossproffit]

38. My aunt & uncle were able to vote for Hillary today. They said Pinal county was Clinton County

[cosmicone]

39. Why couldn't Bernie supporters

use mail-in ballots?

Why couldn't they register ahead of time?

How is this anyone else's fault but their own?

SMH

[72DejaVu]

67. The Postmaster General was appointed by Obama

So, obviously, he's a member of the Democratic establishment. And you expect people to trust voting by mail?

[JonLeibowitz]

109. Their vote should count the same regardless.

[cosmicone]

123. SO -- Bernie supporters shouldn't follow the rules?

They're "oh so special?"

eyeroll

[stevenleser]

138. They are too busy attacking Clinton supporters on the web and voting in online polls

to read election rules.

[book_worm]

40. Really? 1.2 million people turned away?

[Agschmid]

45. No that's factually incorrect...

But I haven't seen the OP lately...

[grossproffit]

42. Mon, February 22, 2016 Voter registration deadline for Presidential Preference Election

http://www.azsos.gov/elections/elections-calendar-upcoming-events

[jillan]

122. Did you miss the whole story on this? People were coming in with their voter registration cards

showing they were registered Dems. When they went to sign in the computers showed them as independents OR republicans.

Just want to remind you this happened to both Hillary and Bernie voters.

[AzDar]

46. WTF???

[72DejaVu]

61. Thank God Trump hasn't built his wall

I heard the lines to vote were so long, they crossed the border.

[snowy owl]

70. When will Americans finally demand honest elections? When?

Every election it is the same story. I don't care how far back you go. Whether it be Chicago decades ago or Arizona today. Or Florida and Jeb in 2000. When will people demand honest elections?

[Ghost Dog]

183. Indeed. n/t

[MadBadger]

75. I would hope DUers are smart enough to see this as bullshit

Guess not.

[72DejaVu]

78. Don't worry

DU will get smarter when all the people who say they are leaving, do.

[AzDar]

80. People STILL IN LINE Waiting To Vote...Have been Waiting For HOURS! Now Ordering Pizza...

[revmclaren]

88. 1.2 million is roughly DOUBLE the entire state of Vermont!

[desmiller]

134. Not funny. That's voter suppression in my book.

those 1.2 million might vote for your candidate. Injustice of this type should not be laughed at. To the naughty list with you!!

[stevenleser]

137. I can't breathe...

[revmclaren]

165. I know...

They simply don't understand that that figure is so absurdly stupid that it makes those supporting the 1.2 million number look like fools.



But in all seriousness... It's mathematically impossible to have that many voters left.

[senz]

209. That's a strange thing to say.

[72DejaVu]

93. Weaver said 1.2 million

Oh wait, sorry, that's not voters, it's how much Bernie is paying him this month.

[Retrograde]

115. 1.2 million out of a total population of 6.8 milliion?

Say a third of the population is ineligible to vote - that leaves about 4.5 million potential voters - and if only 2/3 of those are registered, that brings it down to about 3 million. Even if everyone registered to vote tried to do so, that's over 1/3 turned away. Pretty impressive voter suppression, if accurate - which I doubt.

(AZ population from Wikipedia, rest of numbers SWAGs by me)

[stevenleser]

132. This thread has real potential. 20% of the state is still in line to vote!!!11!!1!1!1

[TexasTowelie]

168. Hasn't anybody heard of early voting?

I guess it could be possible if everybody showed up to vote five minutes before the polls closed though.

[jillan]

169. It's midnight here and they are still in line.

[senz]

173. Incredible. Citizens unable to vote in America.

[FlatBaroque]

197. It is OK this time because #SheWon /

[CountAllVotes]

171. from twitter: Sanders picked up 4 delegates in the last hour so ...

>>HA!!! @BernieSanders is gaining delegates in Arizona!! He's picked up FOUR in the last hour!! STAY IN LINE!!!

[Warren DeMontague]

172. We have vote by mail in Oregon. It works GREAT, it leaves a paper trail for recounts, no one has to

wait in line, etc.

I don't know why it's not implemented nationally.

Oh, wait, yes I do.

[George II]

198. Hmmm, let's see (if this hasn't been asked already)...anyone know how many DEMOCRATS...

...were turned away?

And how does someone standing on a line somewhere in Arizona know how many people all over the state were "turned away"?

In fact, just about the only people who were "turned away" were Independents that didn't even know their own state's election regulations.

[George II]

199. There are only about 950,000 registered Democrats in Arizona, and about 400,000 of them voted....

....which is about right for a primary (look at other states' primary vs. registered voters)

So just who are these "1.2 million" that were turned away?

[merrily]

202. Replying to the OP because I cannot reply to a hidden post. Jury results:

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Woah... so this poster says she wants to harm Hillary supporters and their children, then, apologizes to the guy that says he thinks about strangling kids, and then tries to go for the personal attack "achsmidts"? I cannot believe that this poster is still here after those remarks and that they would push this apology crap. Completely over the top and inappropriate.

206. How did she count 1.2 million. It would take many days to count to 1.2 million. btw...

mail in your ballots if one finds it difficult to vote!
