1. Catastrophic issues...

Law suit?

Definitely.

2. Someone better tell Jarrett Maupin

As he gave the all clear.

[LiberalFighter]

4. As others have stated previously.

He does not talk for the black community in Phoenix. I'm sure especially after he is friendly with Sheriff Arpaio.

3. Here's a question

Will HRC supporters give Sanders supporters any credit for bringing this to light? My guess is, no.

Voter suppression is why Democrats lose in the general elections.

5. Bernie was the only white guy to show up

when the US Commission on Civil Rights heard testimony about the racist Florida scrub list that stole the election for Bush in 2000.

8. Image that! nt

6. This wasn't the result of Sanders' supporters bringing it to light.

It was the Maricopa County Democratic Party receiving about 1,000 calls about excessive lines and parking along with about 3,500 online complaints that was set up by the Party. Only one of the speakers admitted being a Bernie supporter during the press conference. The Party was acting on behalf of all the Democratic voters. Actually all of them.

Your last statement is correct.

7. Excuse but I was harrassed by some folks

they know who they are, when I raised this as an issue that anybody who cares about elections should care.

They were to a person, HRC supporters, but primarily part of our resident bully crowd.

And by the way, same shit might be getting ready to ht the fan in NY State

I do not think some folks are willing to take this seriously though...and it will hurt their favored candidate in November. Personally I will just smile. There is just so much you can fight the usual suspects.

12. Yes...

but they don't care as long as it gets a certain candidate the nomination. They'll worry about the rigging when it comes to the general.

Thanks nadin

16. Hope voters are not disenfranchised in New York or any state.

I tried checking to see if there might be a problem with NY having wrong party affiliation but the site was busy. Apparently voters in NY are verifying their status before it is too late.


I don't know why you posted about being harassed by some folks to my posting.

Based on the press conference the main problem were the long lines and parking space due to reduced voting locations. Voters that had to leave due to family or work without voting. Issues of ADA. They also mentioned something about using voting centers which operate differently from polling locations and has internet access issues that slowed the voting process.

They did bring up the issue of voters having the wrong political party affiliation. That has been an ongoing problem and it is more connected with the BMV I think. I wasn't sure from the presser whether it was the BMV transferring the data from the form or if it was an online problem. This election might correct that. They were not sure how much of this was an issue.

Also, the bullies are not just restricted to Hillary from what I have seen.

17. Because some folks here are going over

It is a CT, it is not. It is happening. I pointed out the level of either denial or crazy thinking. People should.d be really concerned about voter integrity. Myself I don't trust US elections any more. We crossed the rubicon in 2000 and it has just gotten far worst.

19. Getting this out in the open and the people upset should change it some

[LiberalFighter]

20. It looks like NY that are not new voters won't be able to vote in the primary

if their party affiliation wasn't changed by October 9th in 2015.

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. The Reddit thread though had reports

That were similar to what happened in AZ. Long term Dems are seeing voting registration changed.

I will wait and hope my Everest sized grain of salt was correct

[LiberalFighter]

22. I hope there is a way for the Party to track it.

They should be able to if the VAN is setup right for NY.

[malokvale77]

9. Because...

Only one of the speakers admitted being a Bernie supporter during the press conference.

that makes me wrong. All I heard from HRC supporters was - sour grapes, sore losers, too stupid to know the process, etc. I never saw any of them complain.

[LiberalFighter]

11. Your response is not any better than them.

As they stated at the press conference it was not any particular group that was disenfranchised. All of them were. Even if it was just one it was one too many.

[malokvale77]

13. FFS

I know who was disenfranchised. I also know who bothered to challenge the process.

10. Here is an answer. People are talking. Her silence is deafening. Add that to the fact that exit

polls showed Bernie & Cruz winning earlier in the day, and her victory speech while people were still in line voting.

Shame on her.

Our progressive station had a call in show today for people to call in and vent. Hillary voters called in too.
How can she be silent while her supporters were experiencing voter suppression?

[malokvale77]

14. Plus...

we are seeing the same shit in so called blue states.

This is a far cry from democracy.

[jillan]

15. I heard there a questions about Illinois now.

Silly me, I thought cheating to win was only a republican plan.

[malokvale77]

18. There's serious questions about upcoming primary/caucus elections.

Clinton/Bush = no democracy.
