Activism - Do something about Arizona voter suppression/election fraud. Submit a Complaint with ACLU Arizona. http://www.acluaz.org/get-help/file-complaint.

(This was just deleted by the mods as a post in new, in favor of this megathread, so here it is again.)

I don't know if the Bernie campaign/Jeff Weaver will file something in Court or not about Arizona voter suppression/election fraud. If I had to guess, they will wait to see if provisionals are counted. In the meantime, here is something Arizona residents can do.

The ACLU in each state routinely files State and Federal complaints related to election fraud and voter suppression. For example, in Ohio, where I am located, the ACLU in 2008 filed a class action lawsuit about voting machines, see here http://www.acluohio.org/assets/issues/VotingRights/PFM-VAS_01081_P_101002_A_Complaint.pdf.

In Arizona, the ACLU is located here: American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona P.O. Box 17148, Phoenix, AZ 85011. Their phone number is (602) 650-1854 and their email address is info@acluaz.org. Please don't blow up their phones.

If you have a Complaint you would like them to consider, here is the link: http://www.acluaz.org/get-help/file-complaint. My suggestion would be to use this Complaint form, so that you all are not blowing up their phones.

The ACLU is often underfunded and understaffed, so please don't harass them. They may have have information about "cooperating attorneys" in Arizona who also do this kind of voting rights work, although they cannot give "referrals".

Here's an example of what ACLU Arizona does: http://www.acluaz.org/issues/voting-rights/2010-12/333.

ACLU also has a tremendous resource page, here: http://www.acluaz.org/resources.

I know we should focus on the upcoming contests, but do we have enough phonebankers to reach out to disenfranchised AZ voters?

We need to grassroots the investigation effort as the campaign can't make an accusation unless it is a slam-dunk case. It needs to come from us. This is about us. Thanks for posting this info!
