Arizona Secretary of State Confirms Election Fraud
Arizona’s Secretary of State has confirmed that election fraud took place in the Arizona primary on March 22.
During yesterday’s testimony at the Arizona state capitol in Phoenix, Secretary of State Michele Reagan was asked what her office was doing to investigate the claims that registration for thousands of voters had been changed from Democrat or Republican to independent.

At 1:05 in the above video the crowd can be heard yelling "re-vote" Secretary of State Michele Reagan quickly states, "I'll get to that in a second," but does not otherwise address the clamor of AZ voters for a re-vote.
In the block quote at the top of this page there is a link to a current article on this AZ subject which provides a little background and context.
U.S Uncut also has an article, with video, from two days ago that addresses the AZ primary election: All Hell Is Breaking Loose at Arizona Election Fraud Hearing
Air Force veteran Dean Palmer described his horrific experience voting in Maricopa County.
“My experience down there, it was tough… People in wheelchairs and canes in the heat… We were out of provisional ballots at 7am… So many people, they wheeled up there and got hit with the sprinklers. So many people, they couldn’t take it. They had to leave, people were crying.”

From what I can gather, at this point, an investigation is ongoing, but no other action is planned at this time.

No comment, just sharing this info ;->
My only comment...
Anybody willing to take bets on the two election related legal cases that came up today, which one will get more airplay?
The Bullshit allegations against Bernie?
Or the PROVEN Fraud for Hillary?
Fuck it, I'm betting the house on the first one, and betting this will get swept under the rug, as usual.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Hope you won't mind GreyWolf - also vid's!
I thought perhaps it wise to somewhat consolidate our video coverage of this event, here.
MsGrin's essay has two long video's of these events I feel would add to your presentation.
(right click, open in new window suggested).
Thanks for your work here, good info.

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Jebus, is that woman drunk? Or just lying?
She didn't said anything important, even though many words came out of her mouth. The crowd called out for a revote, she said, "I'll get to that in a minute," but of course she never did get back to it. But she did take a moment to imply that somehow the surge of new voters might be what caused this problem. As if adding new records to a database might mysteriously cause other records to flip from Democrat to Republican. Data magic!
Here's the gist of what she said:
1. This really happened (duh).
2. We're counting provisional ballots.
Not good enough, Madame Secretary.
She just admitted this altering of party affiliation has happened before!
So here's what we need to know:
1. How many records were altered prior to this year? Was there an investigation when this was reported prior to 2016? What are the results of that investigation? How was the data changed in the past, who had/has access to the data, and what steps have been taken to prevent fraudulent voter record changes?
2. What kind of backups are kept. Can backups be used to identify who changed the party affiliations of voters?
3. Is there any database modifications tracking that indicates staff are involved in fraud? What has been done to catch the perpetrator(s)?
4. What is the age and address data associated with the current data changes. Is there any pattern that would indicate that younger voters or specific neighborhoods were deliberately targeted to prevent them from voting?
5. Will you be stepping down from your cushy job, Secretary Michele Reagan, if it's shown that your own staff committed these crimes in the past and were allowed to remain employed to commit election fraud again this year?
yes!
A database audit, including backups and logs, would almost certainly reveal any large-scale, deliberate corruption of the database. Your post is the first I've seen addressing that in detail.
How fragile democracy is
It really doesn't take much to be disenfranchised. And the election authorities could argue that voters disenfranchised themselves by not waiting long enough to vote or something.
Hard to believe that in the 21st century this is still going on.
this is incredibly important
some of us still feel the weight of no accountability as this crap keeps happening and the vampires become bolder and bolder.

Sounds like we really do need
Sounds like we really do need the UN to step in and oversee our elections. This is total bull shit. I would expect this from the republicans, not from the democrats.
AFAIK
these ARE Republicans in Arizona who made this mess. Part of why it is a mess is because they don't want to pay for the primary, they want the parties to pay, and so in usual Republican fashion they prove that government sucks by making sure they make it fail.
Though, being familiar with Chicago voting, I don't put corruption beyond Democrats either. Corruption exists in both parties, just that Republicans seem to always have been more inclined to disenfranchise living voters while Democrats, at least in Chicago, used to enfranchise dead voters.
In general I don't actually expect this to be outright fraud by some person(s) willfully switching party membership. It looks more like incompetence to me, bad software design possibly. I could be wrong, of course, but in my experience with computer systems and the people operating them, 99% of problems are bad design and/or user fuckup.
The reduction of polling stations, however, that is pure Republican rat fuckery; that is what they do, especially in low income and minority areas. And maybe the software is crap because they didn't fund decent development, or user training. Actual fraud is not required to screw up elections.
And yes, maybe we should have the UN come in and witness this. Never gonna happen because the US is above that sort of thing, of course.
Unacceptable
This is the kind of shit you would expect happening in a third world country but in the USA, almost unbelievable! The dnc,dws,hrc nothing is out of the question with these people. We need to bring them to heel!
Bullshit
It doesn't matter if they "make sure it never happens again". It matters that it doesn't happen NOW.
