Mayor of Phoenix sends letter to AG Loretta Lynch to investigate Voter Suppression in Az

Even Koch purchased Governor Doug Ducey has spoken out.

Can we please have a moment of praise for your fellow Democrats in Arizona that have made this a national issue?

Maybe - just maybe - the Democrats in Arizona have screamed loud enough that we *may* have prevented more acts of voter suppression including in the GE?

They went too far yesterday.

Again, this is not about Hillary v Bernie. I am NOT one of the people who is saying that.
I AM the person that went to protest today to stand up for Hillary voters as well as Bernie voters. As were all of the protesters that showed up today. NO ONE today even discussed who they voted for.

This is systemic election fraud! The DOJ needs to step in and investigate immediately.

If you knew a certain demographic was going to vote early, and another was likely to vote on Election Day, it wouldnt be hard to alter the database to create problems for the second group.

a video with clips of the Az state legislature making the changes & intertwined that video with the results yesterday.

Very eye opening.

Seriously, this is the gop suppressing the vote.

Even the republican voters got screwed yesterday. I read elsewhere that one of the Maricopa County Commissioners that approved the voting plan is a Clinton Superdelegate.
I hope the investigation proceeds, at this point there any number of possible guilty parties.

blue or red! Imagine that! Now, I wonder which organization headed by DWS can cross states that way and influence how primary preference elections perform?
