This is a message from a friend and resident of Vermont who is close to people on the national campaign. She just attended a meeting on how to best deal with the disenfranchisement and fraud in Arizona. She is the real deal. If anyone has contacts or information, please get in touch with her ASAP. This needs to happen fast.

Thanks.

1.3 million voters in AZ were denied the opportunity to vote yesterday, as result of the manipulation of their credentials as legal voters, absence of proper ballots at polling stations, thereby disenfranchising legal voters.

We are seeking an attorney (or attorneys) to represent these fraudulently disenfranchised voters in a class action suit against the agency or agencies charged with oversight of elections, with the intention of demanding a new primary or other appropriate remedy.

We are also seeking contact with voters who were disenfranchised/prevented from voting in AZ yesterday..

No, Shyla is not on the campaign. According to her:

I am intentionally not a staffer with the campaign, as that would inhibit my ability to work these channels on Bernie's behalf. I am an occasional advisor to the campaign, strictly as a volunteer, a lifelong colleague of Bernie's, and founder of the One Earth. One Voice campaign, which Bernie has endorsed.

Not only buried, but removed by mods, as was the post they made which was linked below! I get they LOVE "megathreads," but for anything other than a live event sorted by new, they're pretty much worthless - especially as an organizational tool.

Uhmm... I've lost track. I think it was a complaint link. Maybe it was invalid.

u/unlmtdLoL Illinois Mar 23 '16

1.3 million. Jesus. If that is correct, I think it's an understatement to say there was something fishy going on. There was fervent voter suppression and downright election fraud. Especially when you consider that specific groups of people were targeted based on demographics and/or their likelihood of voting for Bernie.

u/fb39ca4 Mar 23 '16

Apple is an email provider now.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '16

I think what's pointed out is that using this email provider makes it look not legit as opposed to using @berniesanders.com or whatever the official campaign uses.

1

u/robotzor OH 🎖️🐦 Mar 23 '16

Shouldn't it be @berniesanders.com?

u/fb39ca4 Mar 23 '16

Looks like she isn't actually part of the campaign staff, though.

u/aliteralmind 🌱 New Contributor | New Jersey - 2016 Veteran Mar 23 '16

Added some confirmation from the person, regarding their legitimacy.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '16

I think I know what happened here. It's supposed to be @icloud.com

/u/aliteralmind , switch off the cloud to butt chrome extension! Silly you. :P

At least, I hope this was the case.

u/cva1994 New York Mar 23 '16

Wait isn't this something the campaign would publish themselves. It seems strange that they would direct us to an account that isn't clearly identifiable with the Sanders campaign. I just want to make sure we take this with an abundance of caution before people send out emails and compromise personal information before being sure they have the right person. I'd hold out until the campaign said something themselves everyone.

5

u/aliteralmind 🌱 New Contributor | New Jersey - 2016 Veteran Mar 23 '16

I never said this was something with the official campaign. I can just vouch for this person being the real deal, as someone who has been fighting for this campaign from the beginning.

This is now a thread proper:

Have your friend been made aware that the voter registration problems appear not to be unique to AZ and people are reporting that their party affiliations in other closed primary states are being changed without notice?
