The shit is going to hit the fan about Arizona. The Arizona Republic, a right wing rag -is all over

[jillan]

the crap that is going on in this state.

1. They called BS on calling the winners before people were done voting.
2. Video tape of voters being told to go home.
3. We know about people not being able to vote.
4. One polling place for every 21,000 voters

Let the Hillary supporters laugh & call this a conspiracy theory but HER VOTERS where effected as well. She may have lost a handful of delegates tonite as well. When you sign in to vote in a democratic primary, they do not know which Dem you are voting for.

1. was explaining my definition of trouncing

to me beating someone over 100,000 is a trounce. she's not doing that with Bernie. less than 80,000 votes apart. Not Good but not the whipping Donald is giving Ted.

[jillan]

4. There are still a ton of votes to count, esp with the massive provisional ballots cast today because

of this major - f UP.

[MrMickeysMom]

9. From what I've heard about provisional ballots, they can be trouble...

I think one can acquire a receipt. I hope EVERYONE who cast one GOT this, as well..

Massive provisional ballots + reduced polling places + call the win before people can vote = BIG TROUBLE

SHAME ON YOU, AZ!

[ebayfool]

11. I have read that but still have no clear idea of what good the receipt does.

Unless it's just for personal verification that your ballot was read correctly when the machines count them? What am I missing?

[MrMickeysMom]

13. Never having filled out one, I can't fill in the missing...

[ebayfool]

16. Maybe someone will jump in here and let us both know :)

My Google-foo is somewhat lacking tonight - not finding what I'm looking for.

[Divernan]

31. In Penn., receipt for Prov. ballot lets you call to see if the vote was accepted.

The whole process could be different in Arizona. But here in Pennsylvania, where I'm a judge of elections for my ward and district, and in that capacity oversee provisional ballots, here's how it works.

Provisional ballots are paper ballots, to be filled out by hand. They are not voted on a voting machine.

If an individual is not listed in the official register I am provided, which lists all registered voters in my ward and district, or is a first time voter at that ward and district, but without the required ID, that individual is not allowed to vote on a voting machine, but can opt to sit in a private area of my polling place and fill out, by hand, a provisional (paper) ballot. As judge, I seal that ballot in an individual, numbered, envelope and give the individual a receipt with a matching number, and written instructions telling the individual he/she may phone the county Board of Elections in several days to determine whether their ballot was "accepted", i.e., whether their vote was counted in the final total.

After the polls close, I put all the envelopes containing individual provisional ballots into a master envelope and turn it in to the county, along with all my voluminous other paperwork.

Bottom line, each paper, provisional ballot has to be individually reviewed and checked by county officials, which is very time consuming. If the number of voted, provisional ballots is less than the winning margin of the machine votes, they are not reviewed and counted at all.

If the election is so close that the number of voted, provisional ballots is more than the winning margin. the provisional ballots are reviewed and, if they pass the review, counted.

One possible outcome - county personnel look through their own records and find the individual was mistakenly listed in the wrong party by the county when they compiled the register. In that case, the provisional ballot would be accepted.

Other times, people are mistaken and went to the wrong polling place, or perhaps had moved into a new ward and district and failed to update that info with the county elections office. Those provisional ballots are not counted.

I have found it rare to have someone vote on a provisional ballot - many elections, there are none. Others, only 1 or 2.

Arizona's election sounds like one huge clusterfuck on the part of the campaign officials.

[ebayfool]

32. TY for the explanation, Divernan. Most helpful. I see receipts talked about and it seemed ...

one of things everyone knew about, that I would look dumpkoff for not knowing. That was a nice, easy to get explanation!

DU is a great place to pick up information

[jillan]

14. Arizona has a history of not counting ballots for months.

[Mike__M]

2. Anyone who is satisfied with the voting in Arizona

regardless of how it turns out, is a sad excuse for a democrat.

[Raster]

3. I now live in Blood-Red Maricopa County... MANY of my co-workers took...

...long lunches to go vote. ALMOST ALL OF THEM came back without voting because they could not afford to stand in line for ANOTHER 90 TO 120 MINUTES.

I have also personally spoken with no less than FIVE PERSONS here at work who are Democrats, have been for some time, and voted the last time they voted as a Democrat, and are now either listed as Independents or Republicans.

Yes, something very smelly is going on in Arizona.

[jillan]

7. Make sure you keep checking that link I posted from the Republic(an).

[oldandhappy]

12. are there no mail in ballots in AZ -- been wondering that.

[Raster]

37. Yes, there are mail-in ballots... that's how I voted.

[oldandhappy]

38. thanks

[bbrady42]

5. Yes, it's a terrible situation

And thank you for acknowledging that Clinton voters were affected too.

The only conspiracy people are "laughing at," is the one where the AZ Democratic party (or Clinton campaign) is somehow held responsible for the mess.

[jillan]

8. This isn't about us and them. It's all Dems that were disenfranchised in Az tonite.

[Plucketeer]

36. You'll forgive me if I don't hold my breath

while waiting for complaints from the HRC gang. As long as she's listed as the winner, they're NOT gonna care how she got there!

[Scootaloo]

23. Who's in charge of running Democratic primaries in Arizona?

[Pharaoh]

6. How come I feel like my vote

doesn't count?

I'm not being a sore loser.

But there seems to be massive voter suppression throughout this country.

[MrMickeysMom]

10. Fuck anyone who tells you there isn't

And fuck anyone who tells you this has nothing to do with the MASSIVE crowds gathering for Bernie Sanders as his national metrics shows another likely outcome if they were given a fair chance.

All the shit that's happened to only minority voters is now happening to all voters who seek the same things all these years that PoC have been telling us we ALL deserved.

I have had enough, Pharaoh and I live in Pennsylvania which hasn't voted yet, but is a swing state.

[Pharaoh]

15. ^^this^^

Wisconsin here. Big swing state.

I live in Madison which is like 80% Bernie given the yard signs and bumper stickers.

Our primary is April 5th, I voted early today.

No matter what happens, I hope it is contested and this goes to the convention.

Theres just too much corrupt fucked up shit going on.

If we had any kind of a media in this country it would be so fucking obvious!

[MrMickeysMom]

17. Do you know anything about HOW this gets contested?

Cause I don't. I should be sleeping now, but it's been hard tonight.

[Pharaoh]

19. Probably won't be easy

and of course the Clinton people will call us a bunch of whiny losers etc.

I'm ready for bed too.

We will regroup in the morning and sort it out then.

[dana_b]

21. ignore them

if they don't want democracy to happen then they aren't patriots, that's for sure.

[Lorien]

28. They shouldn't call themselves Americans

They should live in the f*cking Congo if they think this sh*t is OK!

[DianaForRussFeingold]

18. K&R It Is So Unfair!

I feel so bad..
"Unbelievably Long Line in Arizona Polling Location"

27. She was only unable to steal Idaho because of

all the photo evidence and witnesses. No way in Hell the discrepancies are that huge between the States. These look like all the percentages that we see in online polls!



Idaho Falls:

[IDemo]

33. Idaho had a caucus, not real prone to election theft n/t

[Pharaoh]

34. I notice that too

Bernie seems to win most caucuses, because they are hard to rig.

[Lorien]

39. Um, that's what was implied.

JFC.

[Lorien]

29. It's going to backfire

I already see "vote blue no matter who" friends backpeddling because of this.

[agracie]

30. Love it !
