Arizona: Hillary Clinton’s Election Fraud Masterpiece

The Clinton machine used brazen voter suppression and election fraud to steal Arizona

http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/arizona-hillary-clintons-election-fraud-masterpiece/ri13524

Ignoring some of the wording bias, this article gives you a pretty good glimpse into US politics. Having lived in Arizona and living next to it at the moment, nothing being said there is far off.

Some insight:

Phoenix in the capital with a population of 1.5 million people. Maricopa County is the primary county the city is located in. Phoenix acts as a financial mecca for many banks and investment firms (Wall Street money).

It's possible, but speculation at this point. Good job Russian media.

MSNBC is so much better:

We're relegated to "alternative" news sources because the actual news won't talk about this. Local AZ stations were broadcasting "something wrong with the registrations" on the local stations and interviewed some people mentioned in that article that had their party registration mysteriously changed and the 75% reduction in voting stations was a matter of record, also captured by local media.

New York Times? Nothing. CNN? Also a devoid of any news on it. Other news stations were broadcasting results for Clinton's victory while only 1% of the votes were actually counted.

Huffington Post has been writing articles and The Young Turks has been making videos about this and other events like it. Major Media though, as the video above shows, "forgets" to mention anything about Sanders potentially winning anything.

Anyone up there watch the results? (really, I am asking)

Sanders won more delegates with Utah and Idaho, winning almost 80% of the vote in each state, than Clinton won in Arizona, but good luck finding any actual news about that.

Even if Sanders wins the entire election process, the media will probably start reporting about cats stuck in trees, than acknowledge anything in DC at that point.

the non-stop 24-hour repeat cycle on Brussels seems to have taken over on CNN/MSNBC... a few sites I follow talk up the 2013 SCOTUS decision that gutted the U.S. Voting Rights Act:

There Were 5-Hour Lines to Vote in Arizona Because the Supreme Court Gutted the Voting Rights Act

Western Voters Faced Chaos At The Polls Last Night

I make a point to PVR the Republican Debates... like rubbernecking a car accident! And... who could miss Trump's "very good brain" (or so he says) to go along with that big member of his!

Why can't we have nice things like...HONEST voting result u mean? The USA has had voter fraud ever since the computer voting has been present in part of the USA. I was reading about voter fraud in these elections for the past couple months and the US elections right now, is like an ISIS attack on democracy and its sad to se the US go down the tubes by the elites of the country for their own interest.

Big deal.....voter fraud had always existed in the United States. Just the price of doing business in a democracy.

Maricopa County, home to about 4 million of Arizona's 7 million residents, apparently reduced the number of polling stations from over 200 to 60 after the 2013 Supreme Court ruling removed DoJ oversight from state changes to elections.

Sounds like the same thing they do in Florida every election. "Folks, we're shocked-- shocked, I tell you! That we had 6 hour wait times at certain polling stations yet again this year! But I assure you, we're studying this really closely, and I promise we'll do better next election! I really mean it this time!"

Can you imagine the outrage and violent response IF ISIS WAS manipulating US democracy processes in this or other ways?

WWIII for sure!

But instead we have Bush_Cheney2004 saying "Big deal!"

Unbelievable. So sad.

... and its sad to se the US go down the tubes by the elites of the country for their own interest.

Has it ever been any different?

All 'democracies' were constructed to quell the masses, keep them from rioting against the elites ... while the elites continued to manipulate to their advantage, silencing dissent and transferring more and more of the wealth to themselves while destroying both freedom and the environment that sustains life.

And the Clintons are to toadies of the elites.

Justin Trudeau is trying to pretend he isn't, but he's kept on a short leash, for sure.

That's right....Big Deal ! U.S. political history does not wear naive blinders from across the Canadian border.

Yes, what the US really needs is an unbiased body which will draw electoral boundaries, set conditions on voting and decide on polling places and stations. The US supreme court, unfortunately, has proven itself to be biased, especially since the Republicans got a majority on it.
