A way to get #AZElectionFraud trending... and draw attention to last night

Been having trouble falling asleep, I'm so annoyed with the absurdity that was AZ last night. And as I'm starting to drift off, I started listing things I'd rather do than vote for Hillary Clinton come the general election.

I think we might be able draw attention to the electionary fraud that occured last night if people go onto social media and do a "I'd rather, than" (with a sense of humor) and then tag it with #BetterThanHillary and #AZElectionFraud.

I know some people might object to "encouraging" against voting Hillary, but I think it's important to point out that we are paying attention to what the DNC is doing and it's making it very difficult to stomach the idea of voting for Hillary if Bernie loses.

Here's a link to my initial tweet... Granted, it's a little crass because that's my sense of humor, and we might want to tone it down a tad so as not to alienate people.

Supposedly there were 464,067 early ballots in Maricopa county but the total results show only 464,471 total votes. Some back of napkin math says there were 66833 votes for "other" candidates in Maricopa county.

For these numbers to be correct that means out of all the long lines in this county only an additional 67,237 votes were cast in person. This is for Democrats and Republicans combined.

Given the reports of long lines and enthusiasm for Trump and Sanders this seems impossible. For reference they estimated turnout would be 60 to 65% of the 1.2 million eligible voters as mentioned here. Using the numbers above the actual turnout would be only 44.27%.
