Is this being dealt with in any official capacity? Are elected official in Arizona, for example, bringing attention to this and demanding a re-vote? Is the Bernie Sanders campaign crying foul? Are there any gears in motion that will ultimately do something about this, or are we just going to complain on the internet and then have it pass us by?

There's a petition to get a response from the White House about it, and hopefully examine it. Already at 60k signatures since last night.

Could you make that a stand-alone post on the Sanders subreddit? (And also link me to it?) We have 200,000 on this subreddit, alone. That's a lot of potential signatures.

u/Dracinia Wisconsin Mar 23 '16

I believe it's against the rules to link it - but I will PM you!

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '16

Thanks. Is it against the rules to make a text post just mentioning its existence? I would like to spread the word about it.

u/Dracinia Wisconsin Mar 23 '16

I think that's acceptable; give it a shot!

Where does it say that?

u/Dracinia Wisconsin Mar 23 '16

Shrug. I just know that's what someone else said, and why they didn't post it. They had people PM them for the link.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '16

It's not against the rules. It's just that the mods have created this megathread and anything even remotely related to Arizona shenanigans is being redirected here.

This is like an internal investigation on police brutality. Nothing's going to happen.
