Related: About this forumElection Fraud: Why Are Voter Registrations Changing?
Huge voter registration problems are plaguing states with closed primaries, leading to allegations of election fraud around the country. People who said they were previously registered Democrat or Republican suddenly found their registrations inactive or their party affiliations dropped, and now they cant vote in their primary. These problems were a big issue in Arizona, and now theyre being seen in New York, California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and more.
Many people are concerned election fraud is happening, but others think it could be widespread clerical errors. Either way, the problem is affecting peoples ability to vote. Is your voter registration affected, too?

(19,926 posts)If you truly don't think that people getting kicked off of voter registration lists is a problem, then you have bigger issues than working for the establishment candidate. You know that these things are only helping Hillary and Trump's rivals.
Seriously, why do you think it is happening all of a sudden in this election cycle with both parties and only helping the establishment candidates?

(4,753 posts)registration software with GEM$ vote software, plus a Microsoft app, made specifically for Hillary for 2016, that interfaces with the voter registration software. I believe this app is currently licensed with the DNC and it has been shared with the Sanders campaign.
The Microsoft proprietary mobile app both tracks the vote count and allows voter registration field input of new registrations. This app was originally ordered by the Hillary campaign and shared with the other Democratic presidential campaigns through distribution by the DNC. However, the software remains proprietary which proved off-putting to the Sanders campaign such that they refused to rely on the app for purposes of tracking the vote. This trade secret, custom, mobile app has the capability to query and to enter data into the electronic voter registration database that is integrated into the GEM$ vote compilation software. The app may also have the functionality to accept campaign name lists to bulk verify registration "status" - status details currently not known.
ES&S PowerProfile® is a voter registration and election management application that enables election officials to register voters and conduct elections from a central data store. This system allows for both single jurisdictions and states to manage elections from the same interface. Election officials are able to register voters, check eligibility, conduct election activities such as prepare absentee and early voting, recruit election workers, create poll books and rosters, verify petitions, and maintain voter records using a single software solution.
So, I wish folks would stop wondering WTF is going on and start investigating the root enabler of this chaos.

(16,184 posts)is just how not one person who isn't a Sanders supporter has spoken up about it.
If we take every time Sanders supporters have declared an election fraudulent or claimed they've had their voter registration changed without their knowledge, that would mean all of the following would have to be in on the conspiracy:
* Every state board of elections or elections commission
* Every state's Secretary of State office
* Every state's Democratic Party
* Every state's Republican Party
* Every state's IG office
* Every major newspaper and media outlet in the country
* Clinton, Trump, Kasich, and Cruz supporters
* Every elected lawmaker in every state
With all of these entities and organizations combined, there would at least have to be a few dozen people who work there speaking up about it. Instead, we hear these reports from Sanders supporters alone, and those that aren't first-time voters who may simply not understand the process are those that could implicate a third grader with a lemonade stand in the JFK assassination.
