Reset the Arizona Democratic Primary for June 7th

The Issue

On March 22nd, many voters in Arizona were unable to cast their vote. Several factors contributed to this: A vastly reduced number of polling places, nowhere near enough ballots despite expectations of increased participation, and many thousands of people having their voter registration changed without their permission. Whether this was Voter Fraud or simply negligence on behalf of the Arizona Democratic party/state election commission, we do not yet know. What we do know: the outcome of the Arizona Democratic Primary is NOT representative of the Arizona population, as many thousands of them could not vote. There are still many primaries remaining and multiple months remaining before the convention. Therefore, the DNC needs to sanction a COMPLETELY NEW primary for Arizona - we recommend June 7th - so that Arizona voters are able to FAIRLY cast their vote. There are still so many states that have not even voted or caucused - there is plenty of time to set up a new, FAIR process open to ALL registered voters. We must contact the DNC, the FEC, the AZ Secretary of State and tell them ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Our voices will be heard! No more Voter Suppression!
