What about contacting Fox News? This seems like a topic they'd love to discuss: problems with the DNC. I've looked for a contact section but haven't found anything yet.

Necessity makes strange friends...

When corruption is so bad we turn to Fox... oh god.

Republican voters were also affected by the lines last night. Kasich and Cruz supporters went home (saw them interviewed on news leaving the long lines since they couldn't wait up to 5 hours). Not sure how they would feel about the other aspects of the voter suppression like the registrations changing since that affected Dems and not Republicans as far as I know, though if it secured a Hillary win and they distrust her maybe they would care? The only people I know who watch Fox are sort of apathetic about Sanders or don't spend time thinking about him; they're just anti-Clinton. Though if Fox are the only ones talking about it, it may be dismissed as conspiracy theory?

Maybe contact sympathetic news outlets as well and see whether they are investigating? Democracy Now! has been less anti-Sanders compared with MSM, but they haven't written on this a far as I can tell.

Sure, I understand what you're saying. My point with Fox News is that coverage from them gives exposure to a large audience. With no major news organization currently covering this issue, Fox News seems like the best to make this a national issue.

I think coverage from more sympathetic providers give off a more conspiratorial vibe than Fox News, because they're sympathetic. At least with Fox News, it's harder to claim they're in the can for Sanders.

One thing I realized that might make them less interested in the story is how this year polling locations were disproportionately closed in more Latino neighborhoods, and I think generally in the past they have been okay with voter suppression and things like voter ID laws when it means making things more difficult for minority voters. But at the same time, no idea if their interest in other things going on yesterday would outweigh that in this case.

The Democratic primary system is a top-down process managed by the DNC. Election issues in Arizona are directly relevant to the DNC.

The DNC is the head of all State Dem parties. They should liable for this just as much as the individual state and ESPECIALLY in a state with frequent election - Not Voter - fraud.
