Not enough ballots for you to vote

[Aerows]

I'm going to chime in about this until I am hoarse.

We do not *NEED* this as a precedent for how to steal an election.

1. K&R for visibility. nt

[Aerows]

2. Thank you

ignoring this is like ignoring voter ID laws it does one thing - wears you down so that you do not vote.

[arcane1]

3. We really need election monitors here, I'm ashamed to say. n/t

[Aerows]

4. I'm ashamed that I have to make an ass of myself

to keep pointing this out.

It's not something I wish to do, but, damn.

Somebody has to do it!

5. Keep an eye out for Az on Tues. This usually happens in the GE but don't be surprised if it

happens in the primaries in Tempe, Tucson, Flagstaff - our college towns. And since Bernie is overwhelmingly getting the millennial vote, it would not surprise me one bit.

[Aerows]

6. I have made any number of posts about this

over the last couple of days.

If nobody gives a shit, I really don't want to hear them complaining to me when they are swearing in President Cruz.

[Agschmid]

9. So if we are worried about this why not take action now!

Why wait until after the fact?

What can we do to make sure it doesn't happen? Change.org petitions? Email Bernie and Hillary?

What's the plan.

[Aerows]

10. I'm worried because I don't want

President Cruz or President Trump.

Are you chastising me for sounding the alarm?

When should it have been sounded?

It was sounded during Gore vs. Bush and nobody listened.

I'm just here sounding it again.

[Agschmid]

11. No not chastising by any means.

I'm with you, running out of ballots is ludicrous.

But posting on DU won't really solve it, we need to get the campaigns involved BEFORE it happens.

[Aerows]

12. I agree, which is why I am trying to get

a poll watch contingent or committee or whatever in my precinct.

Organizing shit like this is hardly my strong point.

If I can even try it, better suited folks can do so, too.

7. It's funny to see the Republicans cry

when they don't get to vote. Suddenly, it is a big issue. Now we will have to see if they are willing to set aside their tax cut demands to pay for a switch from caucuses to primaries.

[Aerows]

8. I'm puzzled by your response.

I'm a Democrat on a Democratic board.

[Mnpaul]

13. That wasn't directed at you

Republicans in my state are all outraged because the issue now falls on their doorstep. They had no problem when Democratic voters were disenfranchised. They even took part in the voter caging. They have no one to blame but themselves for this one.

I totally agree with you about about the sad state of affairs in our election system. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy.

[Aerows]

16. I'm about the most ill-suited human being on earth

to try to take on a task like this, but somebody has to do it.

[Mnpaul]

18. It's an important issue for me as well

and I appreciate you bringing it up. It should be a non partisan issue but I guess it is only important to some if they aren't on the winning side. I expect this election to be an ugly one.

14. If this is an intentional move to prevent Sanders voters from voting...

...why hasn't sanders complained...anywhere?

[Aerows]

17. This has nothing to do with the Primary

this has to do with the dress rehearsal for the General at this point.

If a precinct runs out of damn ballots during the primary, do the math. That is exactly what will happen in the general.

It's ugly, it's voter suppression, and every single one of us needs to figure out how we can avoid President Trump or :shudder: President Cruz due to lack of ballots.

I don't want to see this sort of crap get pulled in the GE.

[brooklynite]

21. Exactly my point...

...are you suggesting that Sanders isn't as prescient as you are?

[PADemD]

19. I don't know about other states.

Our county and the judge of elections knows exactly how many people are registered at each polling place. There is no excuse for not having sufficient ballots available.

[Aerows]

20. There is *no* excuse for it.

Because that is all that it is, interfering in the voting process.

I frankly don't care who you want to vote for, no matter how ill-made your choice might be - you still have the right to vote.

I doubt many Republicans would be that charitable, but I am a Democrat. I think DEMOCRACY should take place, and people should be allowed to vote.

You have got to be kidding me if you think that there aren't voter rolls and somehow nobody got enough ballots at the polls.

I was born at night - but it wasn't last night.
