If Hillary or the DNC are responcible how did they get in control of the election mechanism?

How did Hillary manage to only disenfranchise Bernie supporters?

When they registered as a Democrat was there some special computer code or ID that helped program a computer to select Bernie supporters to screw with?

Nowhere did Bernie say it was the dnc or Hillary's fault. He said 5 hour lines were wrong.

On reading the article below he does cast blame--on Republicans.

"President Obama is in Cuba or has been in Cuba, no doubt talking to Raul Castro about democracy and the benefits of democracy. Well, we got an email last night from a woman in Arizona who was waiting online for five hours to vote. For five hours to vote. Whatever the cause of that problem is people in the United States of America should not have to wait five hours in order to vote. We do not know how many thousands of people who wanted to vote yesterday in Arizona did not vote. We don’t know if they wanted to vote for Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, or whoever.

But, in the United States of America, democracy is the foundation of our way of life. And what happened in Arizona is a disgrace. I hope that every state in this country learns from that and learns how to put together a proper election where people can come in and vote in a timely manner and go back to work. "

Bernie Sanders Rips Arizona Republicans For Disgraceful Suppression Of The Vote

During a press conference, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) ripped Arizona Republicans who suppressed the vote of thousands of voters by limiting the number of polling places in the state's largest county.

The problem was centered in Maricopa County, AZ where there was was one polling site for every 21,000 voters. Most counties in the state that The Arizona Republic surveyed had one polling place for every 2,500 voters. Maricopa is a Republican stronghold, and also the state’s most populous county.

It is obvious that the lack of polling places is an intentional Republican strategy to suppress the vote.
