Petition to President reached designated amount:



Apr 25, 2016 — President of the United States, Barack Obama

We have gathered more than 5000 signatures on our petition praying for relief from election fraud in the Democratic Primary Elections 2016 and we are sending it to you today April 24, 2016, so you might have time to review evidence and respond by protecting the remaining elections.

Evidence from data, numbers drawn from unadjusted exit polls and vote shares in the 2016 Democratic Primaries, provide clear evidence that indicates massive election fraud.

1) In Yavapai County Arizona exit polls made by the Daily Courier pointed to a Sanders victory Sanders 63%, Clinton 37%. Main stream media reported a Clinton victory in the county: Clinton 59%, Sanders 43%. This reflects a 37% flip in outcome and this makes questions of election fraud not unreasonable.
2) By comparing unadjusted exit poll data from NEP (National Exit Poll organization) to vote shares, we notice that Sanders’ exit polls scores are higher than his reported vote shares in 17 of 18 primaries. This in and of itself lets the statistical cat out of the bag. It is as if we flipped a coin 18 times and it came down heads 17 times. The chances of that happening with a fair coin are 7 times out of100,000 tries. Doesn’t appear to be a fair coin, does it? The reported pattern of election data for Sanders is equally unlikely, and we would not be unreasonable to conclude that the data raises questions of election fraud.
3) We also note that Sanders has done better in caucuses than in primaries. In primaries Sanders has a 41% vote share. In caucuses he has a 66% vote share. There is a 97.8% probability that this difference is not due to chance.
The data suggests that we are being denied fundamental rights of citizenship, the fraud denying our right to representative government.
We the undersigned pray that you assign FBI agents to oversee precincts in the five largest counties in each state remaining, which have yet to hold Democratic primary elections and if exit poll data and voter share data indicate anomalies, to begin an immediate forensic investigation of voting machines, ballot scanners and tabulators as well as poll workers in the precincts involved. Furthermore if voter registration data once again becomes compromised to 5% of the turnout, we ask you to invalidate the results of the election through executive order and have the state run the election anew with the data corrected.
We the undersigned respectfully thank you for your attention to this matter.

Regards
Bruce Wm Sargent and all the others.

The federal government has no authority to interfere with state primaries and caucuses. That pesky 10th amendment and all.

The DOJ Is Investigating Arizona’s Election Mess
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/justice-department-arizona_us_5702b720e4b083f5c6085933

WASHINGTON — The federal government is investigating Arizona’s most populous county after its dramatic decrease in voting sites led to long lines during the state’s primary last month.

Elizabeth Bartholomew, communications manager for the the Recorder’s Office in Maricopa County, said the office received a letter from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division on Friday. Bartholomew said the feds want specific data about the office’s reason for cutting the number of polling places. She said the office “absolutely” plans to cooperate with the investigation and to provide federal officials with the requested information in the coming weeks

Investigating and dealing with actual violations is of course under the federal government's jurisdiction. But this;

We the undersigned pray that you assign FBI agents to oversee precincts in the five largest counties in each state remaining, which have yet to hold Democratic primary elections and if exit poll data and voter share data indicate anomalies, to begin an immediate forensic investigation of voting machines, ballot scanners and tabulators as well as poll workers in the precincts involved. Furthermore if voter registration data once again becomes compromised to 5% of the turnout, we ask you to invalidate the results of the election through executive order and have the state run the election anew with the data corrected.


Would be a blatant violation of the principle of federalism.

I don't see any blatant violation of the principles of federalism... the doj has authority to monitor elections... there is a lot of detail that would need to follow.. but I don't see a problem if the doj/administration can demonstrate a pattern of possible voter fraud and or disenfranchisement

Exit Polls: Why They So Often Mislead


Would be a good place to start.

The entire premise of this is "exit polls don't lineup with the reported results so please have the FBI monitor the remaining primaries", which is just patently absurd. Then they double down and want a federal agency with no jurisdiction and no, y'know, voting expertise, to monitor elections. Then the amusing closer is forcing re-votes.

I think not, and there were tons of them.
