I'd like to collect some of the growing body of evidence that fraud played a role in the Arizona fiasco. If you've got something, post it.
Here's a video wherein they admit fraud took place, also the exit polls seem highly irregular as well, so here's a link:

What do you think?
It's so good to see everyone here! It feels like coming in out of a hurricane and seeing my whole tribe waiting for me.
I'm Late Again here, as I was there. I don't expect anyone to recognize me since I never did post any diaries over there, just lots of recs and comments.

From The Day Book: "Bosses Seek to Oust Governor Who Backed Miners"
Friday's Day Book reported that the Copper Bosses are out to have Governor Hunt of Arizona recalled. The governor has consistently refused to allow the mine operators to import gunmen and scabs in order to break the strike, now ongoing, against the Clifton-Morenci Co., owned by Phillips-Dodge & Co. The Copper Bosses refuse to meet with the miners, and, instead prefer to initiate a recall campaign against the Governor. The article states:
The companies refuse arbitration or any consideration of the men's demands.

From The Arizona Republican: Mother Jones Raising Contributions for Clifton-Morenci Strikers
The Arizona Republican of December 23rd reports that the United Mine Workers of America has now taken on the cause of the Clifton-Morenci Strikers in Arizona. The strike has been on since September and is being led by the Western Federation of Miners. Mother Jones, it is reported, leads fund raising efforts in the middle west district, which district is raising large contributions for the striking miners:
UNITED MINE WORKERS HELP
-----From fifteen to twenty thousand dollars monthly is being contributed to the relief of the striking miners in the Clifton-Morenci district by the United Mine Workers of America. A concerted movement, inaugurated by officials of the Mine Workers, has resulted in the raising of funds by practically every local in the organization. Some of these donations are sent in by the locals as soon as collected and in other instances the contributions come as from districts.
Following the endorsement of the strike by the American Federation of Labor in convention at San Francisco, James Lord, president of the mining department of the federation took up the matter of securing aid for the strikers. Representatives of the United Mine Workers soon afterwards visited the district and members of the executive board, upon receiving individual reports approved the work and suggested that it be handled by districts.
Mother Jones, on the payroll of the United Mine Workers, is in charge of the work of raising funds in the middle west district. The contributions from her district are said to be larger than from almost any other section, although the Illinois district is contributing largely.
The Southern Arizona VA Health Care System transgender clinic opens its doors today. That VA hospital will become the fourth in the nation to offer special clinic hours for transgender patients.
The Tucson treatment team will be headed by Dr. Sonia Perez-Padilla, who says the Tucson hospital is now recognized by the VA as a "national center of excellence for transgender care."
Local VA officials say the population of transgender veterans in Tucson has grown from 50 to 130 in the past five years.
The Department of Veterans Affairs ordered all its medical facility to take better care of transgender veterans beginning in 2011.
Before that, discrimination was not uncommon.
