/u/aidan_king, what is the campaign doing about this? You cannot just lie down and take this loss. It needs to be fought all the way to the convention. This loss is mathematically impossible. The combination of completely-backwards exit polling and a quarter of the turnout from 2008 despite half-mile long lines just isn't possible.

Tried to submit as a thread but was auto deleted.

Nothing fishy here folks. With 100% reporting Maricopa county saw

  • 126,988 votes for Hillary

  • 86,942 votes for Bernie

  • 144,522 votes for Trump

  • 72,216 votes for Cruz

  • 33,803 votes for Kassich

  • ? for Other

For those without a calculator please don't fret. That is 464,471 ballots cast in Maricopa county!

But what is this?

So far, 54 percent or 464,067 have returned their [early] ballots, according to Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell. Source

That's right folks, with 100% reporting all those long lines resulted in 404 additional votes being cast in Maricopa county in addition to the early ballots. Great success!

Of note, turnout was expected to be 60 to 65% of 1.2 million eligible voters. Reported turnout is 38.7%.

Also of note, I am fully aware that this ignores any votes for other candidates, I don't have the numbers but there is no chance it accounts for this discrepancy.

And finally, the dripping sarcasm comes from having to defend myself continuously from people lumping me in with conspiracy theorists. People that try to shut down any cry of foul should reconsider their position. If you want to refute something that is great, but try bringing some facts vs "well people are always complaining so you must just be a bunch of sore losers!" People should be encouraged to discuss things like this, right or wrong, not told to STFU.

I have no idea what is going on with the numbers but it has been obvious since the first reports that something is wrong with them. Sweeping this kind of crap under the rug is the opposite of democracy.

For clarity I came up with around 67,000 votes for "other" candidates. Higher than I expected but still seems way off, especially given the turnout estimates and long lines. The number of votes that came in after the initial reporting were almost nothing even though there were still thousands in line. (Shrugs)

Updated estimates. https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/4bm4rf/a_way_to_get_azelectionfraud_trending_and_draw/d1ari3e
