It is not news that Republicans in charge of elections are prone to pulling tricks

Katherine Harris, Ken Blackwell, Kathy Nicklaus are all Republicans who have been party to some suspect behavior as far as elections go. The worst possible position that a Republican can be elected to is one that supervises elections, be it at the state or county level.

What happened in Arizona is nothing new, it is just from the same old bag of Republican tricks. Let's remember who the real enemy is here when it comes to potential election fraud.

And on a side note, in the county that I live in there was only one person that was convicted of fraud related to an election and that person was a Republican who voted twice by using his deceased father's absentee ballot. Again, remember who the real enemy is.

There is no reason this should become a Sanders v. Clinton argument. What happened in AZ yesterday was caused by the GOP, and that is who we should focus on.

With the help of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Tant is now the Democratic Chairperson in Florida.

Allison Tant's husband was part of the legal team that helped Bush fight to keep the Florida vote from going to the supreme court:

Critics attacked Tant's old lobbyist clients and noted that her husband, Tallahassee lawyer and lifelong Democrat Barry Richard, led the Bush-Cheney Florida legal team during the 2000 presidential recount.
