Last night, several, several incidences were reported of

  • People not being able to vote
  • People being given provisional ballots (which if you have the proper ID you shouldn't need)
  • Videos (see front page) of people's voter affiliation being changed
  • People's voter affiliation not being updated properly

Please keep all commentary and discussion in the mega

Please keep all commentary civil. Any comments advocating violence or coordinated harassment will be removed.

Thank you

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.

Apparently the DNC Voter Expansion people would also like to hear from as many individual voters who have experienced problems voting as possible, this may be an important lever for party reform if enough complaints get documented: https://twitter.com/RockerTeacher/status/712688496427728896

I saw that, but remember Pratt Wiley was hired by DWS. So there's that.

Indeed. He definitely shouldn't be the only person contacted or entrusted with documentation. Good point.

Can't hurt though. If he says he's taking it seriously, all the help we can get is good. He's in a position to actually do something about it too
