2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMy suggestion to avoid blowing your top over voter registrations.
I'm just an old man who once worked in an elections office before the days of online voter rolls. When residents had questions about their voter registration,s they would call us, we'd hunt down their registration card, and voila, question answered. Nowadays we have this newfangled thing called the internet and, I suppose, it's easier to type on a keyboard than it is to lift a phone to one's ear and call their local county or municipal clerks. I guess t's also easier to rant on DU or Reddit about alleged tampering by the DNC (which is surprising to hear because I never saw any party officials behind our counters). But I have an idea. If you go online and find something not right about your online registration record, and you think you're about to pop a blood vessel, call your county or municipal clerk. I'm willing to bet that, in 99 of 100 cases, they're going to have your correct record. And no, they don't give a damn whether you support Bernie, Hillary or the Rent Is Too Damn High Party guy. Just give them a call.

(6,282 posts)Those voters will never think to check their registration because it has never been a problem before. They'll find out at the polls though.

Polling places in AZ reduced from 200 to 60??
Are you on drugs?
Would you stand in line for hours? Could you?

(154,021 posts)also you blew smoke out of your ass about AZ and now it turns out... they admitted to it, at the Assembly. Perhaps it is time for you to realize that we have a problem... and perhaps it is far more serious than your old person can even fathom

Are you going to continue to place your head in the sand? And yes, I already checked our current registration by the way.

(154,021 posts)pf the same exact shit. Hell, it seems to be happening in California. I know this shit is hilarious...
Yup, I expect you to dismiss this is happening until it happens TO YOU.
Perhaps you lack imagination, but dry runs for November are quite possible, as well as somebody, or somebody's hacking into state systems, either for shits and giggles, or nefarious goals. Either way, we might be looking at a FELONY.But hey, it is just damn smack hilarious.

There are plenty of conspiracy theories here just on this front page about Sander's campaign being victimized and targeted.
