"As the Free Thought Project reported, voter suppression in Maricopa County, and the rest of Arizona ran rampant last month during the primary. The number of polling locations was drastically reduced, leaving many voters with a wait time of 5 hours just to vote. Others were left with no voting locations at all.
The election rigging was so obvious that a hearing was held the following week in the House Gallery to discuss possible courses of action to correct it.
On Monday, during the hearing on the election challenge, a Maricopa County poll worker testified the computer system she used to check in voters would not allow her to give the correct ballots to voters.
The testimony from Dianne Post confirmed the rampant voter suppression and election rigging which led to the hearing taking place. Post, who is an attorney in Maricopa County, testified that a machine she was using to check in voters at a location failed to give 36 people the proper ballot.
It got worse.
According to Post, another 22 people at her location were listed in the wrong party and their polling place ran out of ballots for at least two congressional districts.
Every single time it happened to me it was a Democratic voter who wasnt able to access a Democratic ballot, she said.
Post was only one person in one station, the allegations of suppression spread throughout the state.
Posts testimony was backed up by Alisa Wolfe, a resident of Pima County, who testified her voter registration was improperly changed from Democrat to independent, according to the AP."

(7,321 posts)Pathetic as that kind of thinking and lack of call to action is the status quo.
That's what we've got here. It's made a complete farce of any claim to 'democracy' of any stripe in this country.
Every time the media reports on other countries failures wrt to democratic elections process, or any U.S. politician crows about our "freedoms" and democratic values, I just want to scream at my radio or tv with Orwellian propaganda.
Such a fraudulent lie.

What specifically leads you to believe Clinton cheated (other than she won in states she was predicted to win)?
