Seems there is a petition for checking for voter fraud.

"Investigate the election fraud in the 2016 Democratic Primary Elections. Arrest those responsible. Secure the remaining elections from fraud.

Statistical evidence clearly indicates that the primary wins in Iowa, Nevada, Massachusetts, Illinois, Missouri and Ohio have been stolen!
Statistical evidence clearly indicates fraud in 15 of 16 primaries. Flip a coin 16 times. If it comes up heads 15 times, it is not unreasonable to suspect that there is something wrong with the coin. If in 15 of 16 primaries, Bernie Sanders’ recorded vote shares were lower than the exit poll vote shares, it is not unreasonable to suspect that there is something wrong in recorded vote shares. To request an investigation of the elections that led to these results is absolutely reasonable.
President Obama: On page 5 of the Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses it is stated that :“The federal government asserts jurisdiction over an election offense to ensure that basic rights of United States citizenship, and a fundamental process of representative democracy, remain uncorrupted.”
President Obama: The basics rights of United States Citizenship are being violated!
President Obama: The fundamental process of our representative democracy is being corrupted!
President Obama: DO YOUR JOB: Investigate the clear evidence of widespread election fraud in the Democratic primary elections and secure the electoral process in the elections that remain."

no way in hell Hillary won Iowa, Nevada and Mass fair and square. Nobody likes her and nobody shows up at her rallies. Common sense should tell you there is fraud. But sheep don't use common sense.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Alleging fraud and calling poster sheep, enough of that

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 21, 2016, 01:47 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is perfectly acceptable political comment and opinion.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I will always vote to hide nastiness like this.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Members should not call others "sheep" just because they support a different candidate.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is the last thing we need as the prospect of a Trump presidency looms. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin either we hang together or we hang apart.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Typical election year talk. Ignore or get tougher.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

If there's no election fraud, great. If there is, democracy demands we find and correct it.

Bkkyosemite, thanks for the thread. Btw, it's "election" fraud.

would have seen the outrage and condemnation by the cheersquad, yet now this is just another...meh..because we don't care about backing a person who has questionable morals and decision making skills. It all fits in the narrative, do whatever you have to do and when you get caught just apologize.

No doubt in my mind these are right wingers attempting to take advantage of LIV's and to get them to actually promote this. We aren't that stupid.

"Voter Fraud" lol Might want to think about that for a moment.

Not while she's ahead.

But you'd better believe if she gets the nomination and such discrepancies show up while she's behind they'll be screaming bloody murder.

There is a pro-Hillary element that has a vested interest in Bernie vote suppression.

I think everybody knows this is true.

Speculation based on a lack of understanding of how sampling and probability analysis actually work is no basis for an investigation.

...gonna start calling for voter id laws now? Claims like this are how those laws started on the (R)ight.

People push a lie (coin flip amounts, 'climate-gate' etc.) and then others use that lie to base other things on and it gets ridiculous with an entire 'reality' teetering on top of one lie that somebody made up somewhere.

It's like the internet has taken us back to the dark ages of rumor mongering; so much disinformation and people just om-nom it up like it's a big, juicy cheeseburger.
