2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI remember a time when Democrats were proud
Democrats were proud of Jimmy Carter for going around the world, watching out for election irregularities.
Today some who claim to be Democrats are fine with election irregularities right here in our own 48th state as long as their candidate won.
Anyone who is satisfied with the voting in Arizona is a sad excuse for a democrat, and no friend of Democrats.

(55,745 posts)None of those articles at your link talks about Sec. Clinton voters being disenfranchised.
Lots of ink and video on Michigan polling places running out of ballots, though.
Thanks! I mean,

Its a republican run state.

(27,787 posts)... it used to be that these folks claimed Obama caused everything bad that happened.
Now, they think Hillary causes all of the evil in the world.
They are fickle that way.

(6,346 posts)Excusing suppression of the AZ type is a formula for general election disaster. Repubs will know Dems can't complain so they will go all out

(11,330 posts)which would mean that people have to be involved in the political process in its entirety....not just twice every four years.
If you don't like the process, get angry - use the anger to drive you to change the state system.
But complaining for a day or a week once every four years, is pointless.
