In case you missed it: Arizona Secretary of State Confirms Election Fraud During Primary Vote

During a committee hearing at the state Capitol in Phoenix this week, Arizona Secretary of State Michele Reagan admitted that wrongdoing occurred in the Arizona primary for the presidential election on March 22, U.S. Uncut reports. Asked to explain the multiple incidents of “anecdotal evidence” of voter suppression, Reagan stated that her office has been “working extensively” on the problem and said that even one of her own employees had experienced a problem.

The acknowledgment comes a week after angry Arizona residents demanded a revote for the primary, accusing the state of voter suppression and describing several forms of disenfranchisement, including some voters’ party affiliations having been changed unbeknownst to them.

Reagan’s testimony did not pacify voters. As she nervously addressed a distraught audience about election fraud, she said that her office “knows it happened”—earning her a shower of boos and other upset exclamations. She added that her team cross-checked “voter registration forms to see and try to pinpoint which are the files that we believe were possibly affected” but that “a complete report” was nowhere near completion. Perhaps even worse, Reagan noted that her office has heard reports of the same type of fraud in previous elections, but never “to this level.”

Although an explanation for the registration changes remains a mystery, the hacker group Anonymous has suggested that Arizona’s online database was hacked. The group cited multiple anecdotes and discussions with “veteran hackers,” one of whom scanned the state’s site and “discovered a massive vulnerability in less than a minute” that “is nearly impossible to defend against a skilled and determined attacker.”

Said no revote in AZ. Why? Because Bernie may win that too, like NV.

running for president. I wish I had the quote but he basically said that he recognized the potential risk to himself and his family if he decided to run. That made me pause, because of what we were asking of him. Was it right for us to ask him to put himself and his family in danger for out fight? He went on to say that it would be worth the risk if he had the backing of millions of Americans. I was concerned at those early stages that he might not get the support. But I am thrilled that he chose to run and that millions of Americans have come out to support him. At our caucus it was very apparent, the difference in enthusiasm between the Clinton supporters and the Sanders supporters. I admire him for taking the risk.
