Allegations of voter fraud follow Hillary Clinton campaign across nation

This was too late for LBN. Copied verbatim, no editorializing form me. Main stream media report:

Allegations of voter fraud follow Hillary Clinton campaign across nation

Arizona is just the latest state where allegations of voting irregularities have been claimed.

As the Huffington Post reports:

Beginning in Iowa and climaxing with the holy mess that occurred in Arizona, the Democratic presidential primaries have been a Wagnerian Ring Cycle of electoral “shenanigans,” cynical rule-bending and outright voter suppression.

couldn't copy much do to formatting and paragraph breaks.

1. As somebody probably said about 6 months ago...

"Sounds like a plan."

[RandySF]

2. Straight out of the Republican playbook against Obama.

Delegitimize at every turn.

[Unicorn]

3. I've seen it in every state so far and it keeps getting reported on liberal sites.

And, I witnessed it in my states' election which still went over-whelmingly for Bernie.

How is this out of the Republican play book?

Do you declare everything you don't want to hear, out of the Republican play book?

[silvershadow]

4. Whatever it takes to purge the party of this wrong thinking. We are going forward, not back. nt

[Unicorn]

5. +1

[leftofcool]

8. We will be moving forward as soon as Bernie drops out of the primary

And he will soon. He's been pretty much told to by party leaders.

[silvershadow]

9. he won't be dropping out. Just as he said in the beginning

[riversedge]

27. Living in the Bernie bubble does not allow the Truth to enter

[Fla Dem]

15. Then why is you arrow going backward? nt

[Scootaloo]

6. if i recall, it was the clinton campaign that started that particular engine

Speaking of delegitimatizing, here's your most recent hide, speaking of the state of kentucky, and bernie's prospects therein:

White as a lily and racist as Hell.

Obama would've won that primary if he were white.

Real funny comment to make, since as you note, Hillary DID win that state, and as noted in a response to you, is projected to do so again.

And then there's this...

I am equally embarrassed by the Democratic primary [View all]

In all my years, I've never seen a campaign as Sanders 2016 and their supporters. Sanders is a lucky man to such devoted henchmen do the dirty work as he wags his finger of judgement. Lee Atwater would have been proud.

I don't think you get to try to claim others are delegitimatizing anything, RandySF. Not with your clear record on the subject.

[Fla Dem]

14. Yep, blogger article posted on "News/Talk" radio station KTAR. So it must be true!

[ReRe]

7. You did great, so hush ;-)

Do you think David Brock is Hillary's "Karl Rove?" Or is Hillary herself playing the part of KKKaarl? Or is it just her lackies all over the country who are KKKarling, causing the voter suppression, the long lines because of closed polls (because they are so supposedly expensive), the po, po states just unable to afford an election?

[BlueMTexpat]

10. So why has Hillary's campaign joined the suit

against AZ even when she won there?

So why is the official in NY whose "error" in dropping thousands of names from the Dem voter lists a Republican?

Those NY names were dropped in an area largely supportive of HRC as shown by those who voted there, so it is fair to infer that her candidacy was likely disadvantaged more by this. Of course, if the GOP clerk whose "error" caused the names to be dropped had enough ESP to know in advance that every single one of these was a Sanders voter, then we can know for sure that it was fraud against Bernie.

Most of the "fraud" allegations seem to originate with and are perpetuated by a vocal minority of SBS supporters, especially those who are most afflicted with CDS and likely never Dems to begin with. The vocal minority becomes most zealously rabid whenever Bernie loses. It is certainly a trend - and not one that has ever been seen at the level of Democratic primaries in my lifetime - which has been pretty long.

Things are getting so bad that every time I see that Hillary wins a primary, I know just as night follows day that there will be allegations of fraud from this same group. Frankly, it is really pissing me off. These are indeed GOPer tactics, brought into the Dem race by non-Dems.

[Darb]

23. Stop making sense.

It doesn't play well in Victimlandia.

[Gamecock Lefty]

11. So why the headline "fraud follows Hillary?"

I see what you did there. Drip, drip, drip. Trying to tie Hillary to fraud. I agree with earlier poster - typical Republican playbook.

Maybe a better headline would have been - "fraud follows Bernie . . ."

[silvershadow]

12. I don't know, I don't work for the source. Have you tried contacting them? nt

[Scuba]

13. Disappointing, but not unexpected, that Huffpo would conflate voter fraud with election fraud.

[bluestateguy]

16. Oh I couldn't agree more

My Hillary supporting friend had to give up on voting because she didn't have time to stand in Helen Purcell's 4 hour voter line in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Hillary lost that vote because of Helen Purcell's shenanigans.

[silvershadow]

17. Hillary didn't lose Arizona. Whatever took place, clearly she made out now, didn't she? nt

[bluestateguy]

18. Actuallu, no it's not ok

This is a proportional race, so a reduced margin of victory means fewer delegates than she might have otherwise earned.

But in any case, you've clearly implied that you don't much care that my friend could not vote.

[silvershadow]

22. You are assuming she would have even won at all. Your mistake. nt

[Darb]

24. She would have won bigger.

Too bad.

[IDemo]

19. "Voter fraud"

As more than one commenter at the link points out: PLEASE stop using the term VOTER FRAUD... It isn't the voters being fraudulent... it is the system that is being fraudulent.. so the proper term to use is ELECTION FRAUD.

[silvershadow]

20. Yes, that's the phrasing they always use, on purpose. They mean voters being defrauded. nt

[silvershadow]

21. It was posted out to me the misleading use of the term "voter fraud" instead of fraud perpetrated

against the voters.

[Darb]

25. By Republicans all over the country.

But somehow you bernies seem to want to tie it to Hillary Clinton when you know damn good and well, and the evidence is clear, and the strategy is clear, that this has been in place since long before Bernie left socialism behind and joined the Democratic Party.

[berniepdx420]

26. /

[riversedge]

28. So, you agree that it is voters doing the fraud?

[riversedge]

29. 32 Recs so far. So many think that it is voters engaged in fraud. Shameful

[salinsky]

30. Pathetic ...

... quit with the victimhood.

It's unbecoming.

[Bluerome]

31. Silvershadow on ignore

When you come to terms with Bernie's loss you might start being more reasonable. As it is, these constant bitter threads of yours don't really accomplish anything. Just commiserating negativity without reasonable balance

[bobthedrummer]

35. Welcome to DU-see ya on the streets Bluerome at the Convention...

[Bluerome]

37. Welcome to bizarro world

See you on the flip side

[Faux pas]

32. Trying to beat us

by cheating us.

[bobthedrummer]

33. Charles Koch now publicly stands ready willing and able to support Madame Secretary instead of using

the plethora of front organizations. What a wonderfully "diverse" Democratic Party base she has.

K&R

[silvershadow]

34. She pretended today to not want his endorsement. The same way he pretended to give it.

Classic Third Way triangulation. They get the best of both worlds.

[bobthedrummer]

36. It's been there for quite awhile, indeed. Thanks for starting this thread. n/t
