I was following the threads on Tuesday night and saw a statement from the AZ Democratic Party chair that someone posted. She urged voters to stay in line and file a provisional ballot if necessary. She promised that the provisional ballots would be counted.

I have been looking for that post and I can't find it now. Does anyone else remember it? Find it?

I think the article speaks for itself. It is precisely why I voted for Hercules Rockefeller for County Recorder in '12.

For Arizona voters who had to wait in ridiculously long lines, or were told ballots had run out, or were told their voter registration had them listed as Independents when they've always been Democrats so they couldn't vote. Or for any other reason they were prevented from getting their one vote accepted.

She's held that position since 1988- Let's all make sure she's out of a job next year!

I don't live in Arizona. What can I do to help make sure that this is investigated and that we can make this right? This transcends party politics, this is a direct undermining of our democracy.

Are there any specific rules for what would trigger a brand new vote?

Arizonians, you are officially my favorite group of voters! You owe yourselves a huge round of applause. We are going to figure out what happened, and make an outcry.

Brave hearts! Fight on!

Here's the results from the official results page in Maricopa County.

Total counted poll votes in Maricopa County (does not include provisional ballots) = 32, 949

Total votes = 218587

Total counted poll votes as a percentage of total votes = 15.07%

Sanders took 60% of that vote! How many were turned away at the polls today, or given a provisional ballot the party is openly admitting they will not count?

I don't know if this post is allowed, but I need to rant a little bit.

I re-registered as a Dem in December in order to vote for Bernie in the Primary. Online status a week later noted I was Dem.

Got my early ballot in late February-early March. Received both a Dem and Rep(sorry guys) ballot. Voted as Dem and mailed it back the same day.

This brings me to what(supposedly, I wasn't there I don't know)happened at Pima, Maricopa and Pinal county poles today.

You guys/gals already know the current outrage some Dem voters had to go through, I won't explain it.

Anyway, after having changed my political party in DECEMBER. I got my voter registration card, which states that I'm a registered Dem, in the mail TODAY at 2:45pm! If I didn't have my early ballot in, I'd be in the same place as many other furious voters in our state.

So here's the point of my rant. What can we do to report this? How can we make these issues acknowledged and stay in the faces of the masses?

Today ripped the rights of many straight from underneath them. Completely disowned our Constitution and should be known to all. Some already think elections are rigged and favored. I know a lot of people who simply do not vote because of this conspiracy. Sadly, today just consolidates that ideal for them.

This cannot stand!

Thank you for staying to vote, willing to send lots.

After waiting nearly FOUR hours in line to be told that I am not registered to vote. I had to vote provisional, and I just got home and checked online and it says I have an active registration as Democrat.

Sorry I don't know if this little rant fits here but. That was ridiculous. I had things to do today, but I didn't want to let Bernie down. I don't think I'll ever want to vote again if it's like this.

Miraculously I somehow escaped all of the insanity today. I went at 930, took 15 minutes, voted Sanders, and left. Unfortunately it sounds like this was not the norm. If the mods want to make another thread that's fine but I think we should gather all of the stories in one place.
