This is why Bernie should contest the Az primary results [View all]

all in one little article.

She's brilliant! A mastermind!!

Interesting article.
Here's the part that gets me the most:

3. Thousands of voters say their party affiliation was altered or undocumented, preventing them from voting

Arizona has closed primaries, which means that if you aren't registered as a democrat, you can't vote. As a local news report put it:
Arizona law already effectively disenfranchises 36 percent of registered voters.

These would be voters who are unaffiliated with any political party. Independent. The only way those individuals can vote in a primary is to re-register with a political party. And they have to do so 29 days before the election.
It’s ridiculous to think that 36 percent of Arizona voters -- can’t vote.
But many independents did change their party affiliation, and guess what happened on election day?
Leaders from the Arizona branch of the Democratic Party have confirmed that its lawyers are officially making an inquiry after multiple Democratic voters showed up to the polls only to find that they were listed as independents, Republicans, or had no party affiliation at all.

Many voters wound up having to wait in line under the hot Arizona sun only to find that they were ineligible to vote for the candidates of their choice. To add insult to injury, the polling locations have been so poorly planned that many voters had to wait in line up to four hours before finding out that their information had been improperly filed.
And just to be clear: We're not talking about a few isolated incidents

If we ignore all of this now, we deserve what we get. I'm glad that the Az Dems have some lawyers on it but Bernie should too.

And yes, I have been sending this stuff to the Sander's campaign. I do not care if they think I'm a nutter.
