Yesterday 3 states voted / caucused for the democratic party. Bernie did do well as he did win more delegates than #HillaryForPrison2016.
As you can see, the 1 of the 3 states he lost was Arizona. He did win in Utah and Idaho by a very large margin.
There is much controversy surrounding Arizona's vote. Proof of voter suppression and all out election tampering are surfacing. Some voters waited in line, in Arizona's heat mind you, for over 6 hours as polling stations supposedly ran out of ballots less than an hour after opening. If you are not familiar, Florida had this same issue of claiming to run out of ballots just days ago and later the ballots were found hidden in a closet!
In Arizona many of the polling stations were closed from previous years leaving many voters having to locate the new and unfamiliar polling station. The building voters would call for help in finding these new polling stations was evacuated because of an alleged bomb threat, leaving no one to answer voters calls for help. Once they were able to find their appropriate polling station, sometimes hours later, they were faced with enormous lines stretching many, many blocks. Some reports say miles long as some polling stations had as many as 20,000 voters set to it. My small town in Ohio has 3 polling stations for less than 5,000 people. 20,000 is far to many people to herd through in a few hours especially when voters sometimes have questions, there is registration issues, machines malfunction, and other expected slow downs.
Less fortunate voters did not find the proper voting station, or the end of the wandering line, before the cut-off time and were turned away. Which in itself is fair but, voters were turned away and told their registration was erroneous when they had no issues in previous years. Voters were forced ballots for wrong parties. Voters were told to leave because they stepped out of line. Voter were forced to use provisional ballots. There is many, many more allegations floating around social media this morning. True, I know some of them could be fabricated but, many have video evidence and given the corruption we have already seen this election from politicians, poll workers, supporters, and the media, nothing would surprise me at this point. On top of all this, as if that was not enough to make any democracy supporting person's blood boil, the mass media outlets (CNN, MSNBC, ect) were claiming Clinton the winner with only <1% reporting and while there was still thousands of people in line to cast their vote.
I have spent my morning thus far contacting various state officials in Arizona expressing my anger. Yes, I know all that is most likely in vain. Please do not suggest my outrage is from Bernie Sanders loosing in Arizona. I admit that may aggravate the situation more for me but, I would be just as upset and vocal if any voters were treated these ways. Did Arizona actually run out of ballots remains to be seen but, one thing is certain, Arizona has run out of democracy as there was none at its primary.
Sorry to rant so long winded friends. As I have said in this thread, the poor state of politics in my country and the misrepresentation of voters infuriates me. The good news is Bernie Sanders did win a total of 6 more delegates than #HillaryForPrison2016 yesterday and I do hope that is 6 steps closer to putting an end to this deterioration of American politics and the start of rebuilding it.
