As the FIRST Hearing is going on re Voter Suppression in AZ primary... Hillary still silent.

No comment that her supporters showed up on election day to vote for her but many were given a provisional ballot, that may or may not be counted (as said in this hearing) OR they showed up to vote on their way home from work but didn't have time to stand in a 5 hour line.

Her silence has been deafening.
And Arizonans have noticed.

of how she and her husband, both Hillary supporters, both registered Democrats, went to vote and when they signed in they were both told they were registered independents. She was given a Dem ballot and he was given a provisional ballot.


And she remains silent.

of people that showed up as a registered Dem only to be told that they were not, and were either given a provisional ballot (which won't be counted if it was an independent - even tho they were a registered dem) OR they were turned away completely.

4. As of right now, she's the winner so she doesn't really care if those extra votes were cast or not.

Voting rights only count when it's politically expedient, especially when pandering to minorities.

Early voters probably went more for Hillary because Bernie hadn't spent any time there yet. In any case, Hillary should be outraged that anyone was turned away or even inconvenienced at the polls.
