I do not accept the "official" results of the Arizona, Illinois, or New York primaries.

33. AZ is a state wide issue, IL and NY are county issues.

In NY the purge only happened in Brooklyn. Not Queens, not the Bronx, not Manhattan, not Staten Island, and not Long Island. All of which Hillary carried handily. Whatever happened there it was localized there.

Same for Chicago. Whatever happened, happened because of the CBOE. But because the way Illinois is, where Chicago goes, so goes the whole state. There are 12.88 million people in Illinois, about 2.7 million of them live in Chicago proper, and 5.2 million of them live in Cook County. So whatever happens in Cook County, for the most part, wins the state. Meaning Illinois is ripe for corruption and other issues. Unlike NY because of the boroughs, northern suburbs of NYC and Long Island population densities.

Each state's situation is different. In AZ its about republican voter suppression and gerrymandering. Chicago and Illinois, rank corruption. NYC is its own compartmentalized animal.

This stuff happens all the time, at every point in American history. After probably the first election, we haven't had a clean one since we split between Jefferson (state power) and Madison (federal power) political groups. Its been a total mess from that point forward.

It wasn't acceptable in 1791, its not acceptable now, but its what we've lived with because we have not collected together enough to clean it up. And that's what we need to do, collect together and clean up this patchwork system of elections we've got.

I'm a Madison type, I believe we're better with a strong central government. Obviously the states and counties are incapable of operating a clean election or having any kind of common standard, that's the exact time the a strong central government needs to step in and normalize things.

We should have a uniform electoral process that all parties must adhere to. We should have standard voting machines that every county uses and every voter knows. We should have automatic voter registration, or no registration at all, just show up and vote. And other things, but the point is our process should be uniform and well known to the population. It also should be easy and encouraging to vote, we should have a national holiday every year just for voting.
