He can make some phone-calls to say the head of the DOJ Loretta Lynch who's petitioned to investigate the allegations. The Maricopa County, Phoenix major called on the DOJ to investigate as well. "Loretta there's a lot of pressure regarding the Arizona primary where does your investigation stand on the issue? We have concluded there is enough evidence that voter suppression occurred and the explanation from Arizona representatives for why voting massively failed, is blatantly contradictory to the public hearing and overwhelming evidence. I suggest we pressure the Arizona legislature to change this for the GE election. Look sorry Mr. President, but I have to go, James Comey is calling. Understood."

If anything, this massive voter failure, will be rectified come November.
