It is not over in AZ

Despite the media calling it for HC early, there are many people still in line to vote. I went back to my polling location tonight and filmed over 600 people still in line one hour after the polls closed. I called the campaign. They are very concerned as they should be.

To the vote, the majority of the votes that have been reported are early ballots. Only 12% of polling precincts have reported. This year we had new verification machines that identified you by precinct and party affiliation which slowed down the process at the polls. That and much fewer polling locations is serving to disenfranchise all voters, R's and D's.

It will be a very long night, but please do not give up hope, there are enough votes and voters still in line that this could change. I hope so.

I need some hope.

It seems messed up to see AZ being called at 2% reporting! People are still in line in Phoenix!

was DELIBERATELY fucked with tonight by ALL the media outlets. With people still waiting in line to vote in multiple polling places, you don't project a "winner" in an election where delegates are awarded proportionally by total vote count. There is NO winner, we ALL lose.

If you look at per county voting the largest is only at 33% reporting and quite a few are at 0% and 5%:

Yet somehow 71% of the vote is in?

I mean seriously. If they are fucking with the vote, then it needs to be unfucked. Period.
