(4,879 posts)Will HRC supporters give Sanders supporters any credit for bringing this to light? My guess is, no.
Voter suppression is why Democrats lose in the general elections.

(50,918 posts)It was the Maricopa County Democratic Party receiving about 1,000 calls about excessive lines and parking along with about 3,500 online complaints that was set up by the Party. Only one of the speakers admitted being a Bernie supporter during the press conference. The Party was acting on behalf of all the Democratic voters. Actually all of them.
Your last statement is correct.

(154,021 posts)they know who they are, when I raised this as an issue that anybody who cares about elections should care.
They were to a person, HRC supporters, but primarily part of our resident bully crowd.

I do not think some folks are willing to take this seriously though...and it will hurt their favored candidate in November. Personally I will just smile. There is just so much you can fight the usual suspects.

(4,879 posts)but they don't care as long as it gets a certain candidate the nomination. They'll worry about the rigging when it comes to the general.
Thanks nadin

(50,918 posts)I tried checking to see if there might be a problem with NY having wrong party affiliation but the site was busy. Apparently voters in NY are verifying their status before it is too late.
I don't know why you posted about being harassed by some folks to my posting.
Based on the press conference the main problem were the long lines and parking space due to reduced voting locations. Voters that had to leave due to family or work without voting. Issues of ADA. They also mentioned something about using voting centers which operate differently from polling locations and has internet access issues that slowed the voting process.
They did bring up the issue of voters having the wrong political party affiliation. That has been an ongoing problem and it is more connected with the BMV I think. I wasn't sure from the presser whether it was the BMV transferring the data from the form or if it was an online problem. This election might correct that. They were not sure how much of this was an issue.
Also, the bullies are not just restricted to Hillary from what I have seen.

(154,021 posts)It is a CT, it is not. It is happening. I pointed out the level of either denial or crazy thinking. People should.d be really concerned about voter integrity. Myself I don't trust US elections any more. We crossed the rubicon in 2000 and it has just gotten far worst.

(50,918 posts)if their party affiliation wasn't changed by October 9th in 2015.
nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)That were similar to what happened in AZ. Long term Dems are seeing voting registration changed.
I will wait and hope my Everest sized grain of salt was correct

(50,918 posts)They should be able to if the VAN is setup right for NY.

(4,879 posts)Only one of the speakers admitted being a Bernie supporter during the press conference.
that makes me wrong. All I heard from HRC supporters was - sour grapes, sore losers, too stupid to know the process, etc. I never saw any of them complain.
LiberalFighter
(50,918 posts)As they stated at the press conference it was not any particular group that was disenfranchised. All of them were. Even if it was just one it was one too many.
malokvale77
(4,879 posts)I know who was disenfranchised. I also know who bothered to challenge the process.

(39,451 posts)polls showed Bernie & Cruz winning earlier in the day, and her victory speech while people were still in line voting.
Shame on her.
Our progressive station had a call in show today for people to call in and vent. Hillary voters called in too.
How can she be silent while her supporters were experiencing voter suppression?

(4,879 posts)we are seeing the same shit in so called blue states.
This is a far cry from democracy.
