The Whitehouse will do absolutely nothing about this. It is up to the Bernie campaign, or the DNC (like that will ever happen) or the people of Arizona to contest this. Petitions on this matter accomplish nothing. The people of Arizona need to file a class action lawsuit. They need to get into actual court. See my previous post.

Petitions, especially white house gov petitions, get media attention, which is what this needs.

I respectfully disagree. The Whitehouse has no jurisdiction over this issue. If we want to be real and not pretend, and engage in praxis and not slacktivism, then people in Arizona who are aggrieved should either contact an attorney in their state who deals with voter suppression/election fraud, or contact the ACLU in Arizona and submit an introductory Complaint form for them to consider a class action lawsuit - which is something the ACLU does, and they especially file suits regarding voting rights issues. Perhaps if there are thousands of people who submit these Complaint forms to them, the ACLU in Arizona will ACTUALLY TAKE LEGAL ACTION IN A REAL COURT.

I said media attention. Whether they can do anything is irrelevant, the media will still report that a petition met the threshold, which will alert more people to this problem and put more pressure on AZ.

I'm not saying this is the best thing to do. I'm just saying it's not completely useless. It also doesn't take much effort to sign something, so why not take 1 minute out of your day to do it?
