A. ABOUT ELECTION JUSTICE USA

Election Justice USA (EJUSA) is a national, non-partisan team of seasoned election integrity experts, attorneys, statisticians, journalists, and activists. The circumstances surrounding Arizona’s presidential primary on March 22nd, 2016—widely acknowledged as one of the most disastrous election days in recent memory—were the lightning rod that catalyzed the formation of EJUSA. Throughout the course of the 2016 presidential primary season, EJUSA has emerged as a leader in the fight for honest elections, pursuing legal action in several states in an attempt to counteract specific forms of targeted voter suppression and election fraud.

This report summarizes the work of the Election Justice USA forensics and legal teams during this period. EJUSA is working not only to expose the voter suppression and election fraud taking place during the 2016 presidential primaries, but to build a mass movement calling for three simple, affordable reforms that will render direct fraud and suppression impossible, safeguarding US elections for future candidates.

The following is from the last page of the entire report:

A. CONCLUSIONS

We have aimed to provide an overview of the evidence for various types of fraud and targeted voter suppression impacting the outcomes of the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries. After covering the legal background and the history of Election Justice USA’s legal actions, our best efforts to combat election fraud and voter suppression, we gave a thorough treatment of:

1) Targeted voter suppression

2) Registration tampering

3) Illegal voter purges

4) Exit polling discrepancies

5) Evidence for voting machine tampering

6) The security (or lack thereof) of various voting machine types

Finally, we gave a date-by-date, state-by-state overview of each of these fraud or suppression types at work throughout the course of the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries. Based on this work, Election Justice USA has established an upper estimate of 184 pledged delegates lost by Senator Bernie Sanders as a consequence of specific irregularities and instances of fraud. Adding these delegates to Senator Sanders’ pledged delegate total and subtracting the same number from Hillary Clinton’s total would more than erase the 359 pledged delegate gap between the two candidates.

This is how Elections get won, in America, in 2016,
by the Party of the People.

Suppression, tampering, purges, discrepancies, rigging, provisional balloting ...

and just plain treating Our Votes like their birth-rights.

"The Ends justify the Means" ... right?

"All's fair in Politics and War" ... right?

But when and where does that irrationality end?

I pray to Zeus, Clinton's 4th-quarter conversion to strongly supporting a Progress Platform is Real,

But if her track record on being truthful and trustworthy be any Guide,

Progressives will have 4-more-years of Obama-Disillusionment to deal with,
after the Congressional compromises get cut. (AND Corporatist Reality kicks in again.)

Will Corporations and the Wealthy really end up paying "their fair share" under Her Watch?

Did that happen under Obama?

And there we have it -- we have their pragmatic track record

to suppress, tamper, purge, disparage, and re-claim our Progressive Goals and Dreams -- as their foils.

It's what neocons do -- it's how "the cake gets baked."
