Video: AZ - Computer Shows Affiliation has been changed to NONE

https://vid.me/KKWP

Original Link: https://www.facebook.com/alisa.wolfe.39/videos/1031253743634071/ "OUTRIGHT VOTER FRAUD!! Okay Everyone! I posted earlier about my being denied my legal right to vote this morning. I went to the Pima County Recorders office and video taped the whole thing. Here's what they are doing. They are copying voter registration cards changing the date and the party preference. They can't change the original because that goes out to the party. At first she tried to say I sent in a second voter registration card (of course I didn't not) then she changes her story to its a computer glitch then states it's an error."


Edit: Now with youtube video.



Edit 2: This isn't my story, but rather that of a determined voter in AZ.

The Ready For Mollari is hopefully funny on the face of it, but also it inspires reflection. "Understanding is a three edged sword" kind of reflection. "Ready for Mollari" mocks the vapidness of slogans. Which Mollari are you being asked to vote for? Mollari the partying wise-fool, Mollari who'd been touched by darkness, or a Mollari who was now wiser and trying to put things right. Then we take that reflection and apply it to other slogans.

Edit: Hit post before I was ready, too many tabs open.

She may be even instructing Devious Debbie and the others to not tell her anything so her hands are "clean".
That is not a "ridiculous" theory. Interesting that the one in the video and others she has spoken to that changed their registration from "Independent" to "Democrat" are the ones that had the computer glitch. Its not a far stretch to surmise that the vast majority of those switching from I to D to vote are probably Sanders supporters.

this smacks of Republicans. I'm not thinking Clinton or the DNC had anything to do with this. I mean, remember Goldwater? Hell, he said that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. He was ready to nuke the whole world. AZ is filled with those folks, and certainly this 'extremism' is powerful in their state legislature and in the local governments as well.

I don't think Clinton has been honest, or is honest, or gives a shit about me, my family or our kitchen table issues, but in this case I don't think it was her.

Of course this has GOP fingerprints all over it! Just like in 2008 there were 400 polling places...2012 there were 200...2016 there are only 60! RED STATES are doing everything possible to make voting as difficult as possible...Especially for Democrats!

There is no way for her to know for sure the provisional ballots (including hers) will be counted. She just has the clerk's guarantee; but with no way to prove it, what good is her guarantee?

Many registered voters who registered Democrat/Republican before the cut off or who have been registered Democrat/Republican for many years are being turned down due to the mislabeling of their registered party for the primary.

I waited in line for two hours to be told I was registered as other. I have never changed my registration. The poll workers said I can fill out a provisional ballot but it will not be counted. I called the Maricopa county recorder and they said that I changed my party affiliation on April 15th 2008. That makes no sense as for one, I would not change my affiliation but particularly at that time I was still riding on the high of Obama being elected. I was a very proud Dem especially at that time.

While I was in line there was a poll worker walking around the line telling everyone if they were not registered Rep or Dem that they should just leave because their vote will not be counted. There were a many people turned away. I over heard one lady saying her entire family shows as not registered at all. She stated that her and her husband have been going to the same place to vote for 20 years. She also said a poll worked told her that they were turning away many people with party affiliation changed or registration gone at the tune of 3 to every 10 people.

Frustrated, I get home and in my mail box is an, "Official 2016 Democratic Party Survey", with DNC membership # and registration #. We checked the status for my wife and son before they headed out to stand in a long line and my wife's affiliation was switched to "Other", and my son showed as not registered at all, yet he has been registered since 2014.

because of Bernie supporters being vigilent they were able to get ahead of it. if it was a paper problem. If it was not a paper problem but computer error then that was a problem. This looks like massive failure of anything computer. if the computers when the ACA was put in place was this bad it never would have gotten off the ground. yes it was bad maybe just as bad but do you see the media on this? NO. People really need to push that this is an across the board problem. because in November if it is not fixed. Bush V Gore Part 2 on computer isn't as fixable (although Bush V Kerry 2004 was more like #2 and indeed it was computer and you'd never know it. High turnout usually means the other way around

Wed Mar 23, 2016, 12:45 PM

people are talking to me about this. There is some Real HIGH LEVEL OUTRAGE that I'm sure will be building to enormous numbers as time goes by.

We call this country A Democracy?? I've been calling it an Oligarchy for some time now, but beginning to think it's something worse! I'm going to go to youtube and "like" it and will be sharing this information where I can.

I've been suspicious for some time and have on NUMEROUS occasions posted my own thoughts about how WEIRD what I see on the ground happening that simply doesn't reflect the outcome after people actually vote.

Once again I'm going to state my feelings. My posting here has dropped because when issues like this happen so many Bernie supporters have been called various names IF you even have any issues about Primary outcomes. And I expect after this post the COMMENTS will be the same. Still, I'm going to say again what I've become more and more convinced of. It doesn't matter to me WHAT any Hillary supporter wants to reply to me because my feeling is something that's out there and growing.

It simply makes NO SENSE that Bernie has RALLIES that thousands and thousands of people attend, he's consistently raises MILLIONS of dollars over and over and over and yet SOMEHOW this phenomena doesn't convert to votes! Why would people attend these rallies, GIVE MONEY and NOT VOTE?? I've heard ALL the retorts from Hillary supporters which are repeated all the time, but I'm not buying it. Sure some may not have the correct information, but the same pattern is showing up everywhere where people are having voting issues.

I can give you an example of something that happened here in Florida, a state that I actually felt Bernie would lose, but this still happened here.

My daughter and her husband were Independents and DID switch to Democrats to vote in the Primary and did so IN PERSON at our SOS which is mandatory! My son and his wife registered as Democrats quite a few years ago. ALL of us voted ABSENTEE. So, when you vote ABSENTEE you are supposed to get a notice that they received your ballot and I DID get one for my husband and me. You HAVE to give your email address AND you can go online to see if they received your ballot. YOU can't actually verify IF the vote was counted though.

So, I talked with my daughter and asked her if they got a notice about their ballots being received. THEY DID NOT! She checked online to see IF her ballot was received AND it WAS NOT! I didn't even bother to ask my son & his wife because there seems to be NO recourse for them. UNLESS a law suit is filed which will probably take a very long time and lots of money, and by the time it goes through the courts it really won't matter.

If you're just a "citizen" who doesn't have enough $$$$ to follow through all you're left with is the feeling of DESPAIR! So yes, THIS is Florida but NOW I'm seeing this stuff reported over and over again in other states. VOTER SUPPRESSION is ALIVE and on STEROIDS. I don't think it's only for Democrats, but who the hell knows??

WHAT has happened to this country when far too many people don't give a rat's ass about this as long as THEIR candidate wins? Every Single Citizen in this Country" should be outraged, because maybe the NEXT TIME it's going to be YOUR candidate who will "supposedly" lose!!

It now seems it's ALL UP TO THE POWER BROKERS who are playing "we the people" as mere puppets who have control. The time has come for people to rise up against this. It's only going to get worse.

Other countries are LAUGHING at us!!! I know this because many of my FB friends are from many different countries. Perhaps IF Trump gets elected the people with the blinders on will start to PAY ATTENTION! And if you think it can't happen that's even a bigger problem for you AND US!

Arizona is run by Republicans. This is part of the voter suppression we are seeing across the nation, brought to you by the Republicans as they took over state by state.

My own state of North Carolina has the same problem, caused by Tea party takeover of the state in 2010. They passed these laws years ago, planned to take effect in 2016. Nobody knew that Bernie would be running then. Hillary didn't do this yesterday. The Republicans did it five years ago.

I didn't say Hillary enacted the cheating. I said someone did. She most definitely benefited from it because mostly older white voters did early mail in and everyone waiting in line that didn't get to vote said they were there for Bernie. Many more than actually were counted as Hillary mail in votes. Yes it was a Republican who cut the number of voting places but it has yet to be seen who actually didn't process Democratic voter registrations. I assume republicans of course. But of course Hillary benefits from republican malfeasance because she is ideologically closer to them than Bernie. Once again something stinks. Just like it did in Iowa.

65. Mike Papantonio Commented About ALL THIS Voter Suppression Tonight
Wed Mar 23, 2016, 09:43 PM
Mar 2016

on Ed Schultz's Show. Any the end of the show he said that DWS had her fingers in in all of this. Basically saying that by trying to ensure Hillary becoming the nominee it's become a big problem and WILL BE WORSE for all Democrats in November!

Not exact words, but I'm sure you can find the live feed from RT America.

This is why I've been saying for months that I'm so fed up with THIS DEMOCRATIC Party. His implication was that had they tried to fight back we wouldn't have to be dealing with this. The Repukes have been at work on Voter Suppression for a very long time AND The Democratic Party has been aware of it. Maybe all of it couldn't have been prevented, but FIGHTING BACK against it could VERY WELL have shined a BRIGHTER LIGHT on it!

And just to keep the out cry from Hillary supporters who think this is a BERNIE issue, it's not. So much started BEFORE they knew she would even have a strong challenger or who it might be. Bernie's name has nothing to do with it.

It's about HOW The Democratic Party has changed so much and how the DLC/Third Way wing, which now seems to be IN CONTROL of the Party.

So for all who want MORE OF THE STATUS QUO, go right ahead and do your Happy Dance! I don't feel like dancing anymore!

82. Had To Spend Most Of My Day Having Some Medical Tests, But

do want absolutely AGREE with you. I don't watch any MSM Media anymore myself, but on the call in shows that I view, more and more people talk about her. I'm hearing more and more people say that she's done so much damage to The Democratic Party, but also many are connecting the dots between her and Hillary.

More than a few say they may have to hold their noses and vote for Hillary but there is a general feeling that Hillary should have done more to quash this blatant bias against Bernie.

Given that I'm a Bernie supporter it simply fuels my anger toward them AND THIS Democratic Party! The UNFAIRNESS and as I said BIAS is FINALLY reaching the people of this country. What has actually surprised me is how many black people are now speaking out and calling Hillary a racist. Having just watched Thom Hartmann's show today I was surprised by what I was hearing. He and others did try to tamp down the negative comments which I feel isn't unfair. Still given the MEME that Hillary is the person who represents THE BLACK PEOPLE, I'm thinking this is changing. I'm sure anyone can live stream Thom's Show today and "hear" the comments I'm talking about.

Anyway, DWS has done more damage to Democrats overall, but especially to Bernie Sanders... IMO!

If THIS Party takes no action against her, then they too are complicit!

People are flocking in droves out of our party to either become independent or join third party. Pathetic little minds cannot grasp that this isn't 1992 or 1998 or 2004 or 2008 or even 2012. This is 2016 but these same people haven't updated their wardrobes either lol.

86. Oh How True That Is... I Have Already Made That Decision
Thu Mar 24, 2016, 11:10 PM
Mar 2016

quite a few times here. I've been a Democrat for about 35-40 years and never was anything else. Depending on who is our nominee will determine whether I leave or not. What I've seen happen since Bill Clinton was first elected has been a steady turn to the right. It wasn't very noticeable at first, took a while and I remember getting up very, very early when I heard Bill was going to have a Rally at UF in Gainesville, FL. I took a friend along and we drove 5 hrs. to see him because I had been working to get him elected way back then.

There was a roped off area way down in front that was reserved for people who were involved in helping him but you had to have a special pass to get down there. I was pretty upset because I had driven so far to see him and I made it known to many around me. The MSM was there CNN and all the biggies back then were there because he had generated excitement. I managed to get someone to take pity on me and was given a pass but my I needed TWO because of my friend. I'm not sure if it was Connie Chung who worked at CNN or some other person that was well known who came to our rescue and turned to some other members and got me one. But I got TWO and we got down to the 2nd row right in front of where he was going to speak. Senator Bill Nelson spoke there that day and after the rally we saw his bus and I was so happy, then we drove back home.

I've ALWAYS remembered that day and remember him looking right at us as he spoke and I thought WOW that was great! I defended him during all the womanizing and so much more, but it wasn't until he was elected to his 2nd term that I began to really SEE the change. Still, back then there was Newt Gingrich so I stuck with him and Hillary too. I vividly remember Hillary wearing a pink outfit at a BIG DEAL press conference defending herself and what she had done when she worked at the law firm before she became First Lady. I defended BOTH of them back then too.

I'm posting about this because I've been among those who have been attacked and told I was one of the many who have infiltrated here to put her down. Obviously this is so far off the mark, but because I've learned so much about the Clintons over the years and especially the TWO FOR ONE COMMENT Bill made after he was elected I simply don't have any faith in them.

So many here say she can't be held accountable for what happened and the legislation that got passed when THEY were in the WH, but seeing Bill doing all he's done so far in her campaign that seems illegal to me, I DO think they support each other's views and have always done so.

Over these many years I became more and more upset by what I saw happening and it turned me off. So much so that I now see a person who I absolutely don't trust and feel in my gut that THEY will do whatever needs to be done to get elected. Say anything that's expedient depending on who they speak to. BUT even more distressing is the POWER that they now have, and that stepping on anyone's toes to get that POWER. I also know that even though they've been able to become so powerful that they've made many enemies and the "in the know" people are aware of what they can do. Even though it seems she's so beloved there's a shallowness in that support.

So here I am today after all these years and have seen what the beginning of the DLC/Third Way Democrats have given us. AND I DON'T LIKE IT and I will have an extremely hard time voting for her IF in the end I have to. But, I'm wavering on that and I FIND myself boxed in. I've had it! She doesn't fool me in any way, but I'm even more upset because what's on the other side may be so AWFUL that I have REAL FEAR.

I'll end by saying Frank & Claire Underwood, and I have seen all of the latest series. The ending of the last episode is really, really scary.
OK, went on for too long... but it is a true story and WHY I feel the way I do.

And that forced conservative who feel an inherent need to distinguish themselves for religious reasons and differentiate themselves for cultural reasons to move further right to get away from people like the Clintons who they believe they hate...and further right is into whackadoodle land so its basically Clintons fault we have Trumps and Cruz's. And really...why do people want a family to have a third term?

Computers don't just "flip" on their own. Someone needs to get to the bottom of this NOW.

They were counting on people who didn't know enough to stomp off to the registrar's office to demand to know what happened.

There has to be real names of actual people that caused this.
Like who made the decision to reduce the number of polling stations, it's all tied together somehow.

68. Please edit the post to 'election fraud', the voters did nothing wrong to commit fraud.

The correct term here is election fraud. It's important. There are actually so few cases of documented 'voter fraud' in the U.S. today.

This is election fraud. Vote flipping, switching, disenfranchisement shenanigans, etc.

It would seem to point toward those that had the most to gain. Independent leaning dems clearly support Sanders much more than Clinton, and the DNC seems to be working on Clinton's behalf right now with DWS in power. Possible corruption should be investigated and not ignored, regardless of party. This kind of pisses me off and reaffirms my belief that Clinton is doing harm to the Democratic party.

There's no hard evidence, but there is motive.

Protect the democratic party first and foremost and if that means getting rid of all the bad actors at the cost of a presidency, than so be it. That's my opinion at the current time.

From Helen Purcell the County official in charge of this:

“Just to start, obviously you’ve heard of all the frustration. Who is to blame for this, these long lines?” Purcell was asked.

Well, the voters for getting in line, maybe us for not having enough voting places,” she replied.
