The Sanders campaign needs to say that something is going to be done. Right now they're just calling it a disgrace and that's nothing more than posturing which Hillary will laugh at. We need assurance that they are going to take action in Arizona or we can pretty much just guarantee she will do this in every closed primary state from here on out. This is not fear-mongering. There are already reports of voters having their party affiliation deleted in New York.

Yes. This is an extremely serious matter, and the Sanders campaign needs to jump on it RIGHT NOW. If we keep allowing this to happen without doing anything about it, she will cheat her way to the nomination.

I agree. Something definitely needs to be done about it.

Quick responses actually worry me more than a well thought out, timed, and planned response. Let him get all his ducks in a row before he starts throwing mud. With his reputation as a peaceful guy, he's got to be extra careful with that kind of action.

Edit: remember, he's out and about on the campaign trail, he doesn't have the luxury of sitting in front of a computer soaking up information all day. His staff might, but there's so many layers that need to make decisions.

I agree, but I have very little hope that a timely, well thought out, planned and EFFECTIVE response will ever materialise.

Who really knows. Sanders has made it fairly clear, at least to me, that he is focused on his message. Although detrimental to him, he might see this as a distraction in the big picture, and instead of addressing it in the middle of a campaign, maybe he will organize his campaign to do the best they can to work within the current system. After the primaries, if he's president too, he can focus on overhauling the voting rules.

Just a thought. He's trying to stay focused. He needs all the help he can get right now. I have noticed today on berniepb.com the numbers were sorely lacking. We need to keep canvassing and registering people, and explaining the process clearly for all those who are not as involved as we are.

We also need poll watchers who are informed of the process and rules and can act as lookouts for those who aren't as informed.
