50,000+ signatures

...collected so far! Hope it reaches the required 100,000 by the end of the day.

We petition the Obama administration to:

INVESTIGATE THE VOTER FRAUD AND VOTER SUPPRESSION IN ARIZONA 3/22/2016 DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

Petition to have the Obama Administration investigate the voter fraud and voter suppression on 3/22/2016 in ARIZONA. Numerous voters who switched from Independent to Democrat could not vote and were turned away or given provisional ballots which in turn were never counted. We the people of the United States of America find this act alarming and would like a complete investigation to uncover the violations that occurred during the Arizona voting on 3/22/2016 and prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law.

Published Date: Mar 22, 2016

Issues: Civil Rights and Liberties

Obvious RepubliCon monkey wrenches that likely Hillary benefited from.

But the Dems will NOT enjoy it so much in November when it bites em in the butt.

How about fair elections America? Huh? Really?

The more I read about it, the more it seems our party looks unconcerned about appealing to the voters, many of whom are disaffected. That's more than ridiculous given how angry the electorate is.

Nothing worse than saying "you don't matter, you don't exist, we can't hear you" to such voters. You can tell them they have to be reasonable, or that they need to work for our goals, but you can't survive by discounting these voters.

It's past time for the DNC to say they'll be stepping up, and working to help prevent any repeats. Volumes are being read into the absence of that.
