The following is from the last page of the 99-page report from Election Justice USA:
CONCLUSIONS
We have aimed to provide an overview of the evidence for various types of fraud and targeted voter suppression impacting the outcomes of the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries. After covering the legal background and the history of Election Justice USA’s legal actions, our best efforts to combat election fraud and voter suppression, we gave a thorough treatment of the following:
1) Targeted voter suppression
2) Registration tampering
3) Illegal voter purges
4) Exit polling discrepancies
5) Evidence for voting machine tampering
6) The security (or lack thereof) of various voting machine types
Finally, we gave a date-by-date, state-by-state overview of each of these fraud or suppression types at work throughout the course of the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries. Based on this work, Election Justice USA has established an upper estimate of 184 pledged delegates lost by Senator Bernie Sanders as a consequence of specific irregularities and instances of fraud. Adding these delegates to Senator Sanders’ pledged delegate total and subtracting the same number from Hillary Clinton’s total would more than erase the 359 pledged delegate gap between the two candidates. EJUSA established the upper estimate through exit polling data, statistical analysis by precinct size, and attention to the details of Democratic proportional awarding of national delegates. Even small changes in vote shares in critical states like Massachusetts and New York could have substantially changed the media narrative surrounding the primaries in ways that would likely have had far reaching consequences for Senator Sanders’ campaign.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We conclude by calling for decertification of the 2016 Democratic primary results in every state in which we have established a reasonable doubt as to the accuracy of the vote tally…

ABOUT ELECTION JUSTICE USA:
Election Justice USA (EJUSA) is a national, non-partisan team of seasoned election integrity experts, attorneys, statisticians, journalists, and activists. The circumstances surrounding Arizona’s presidential primary on March 22nd, 2016—widely acknowledged as one of the most disastrous election days in recent memory—were the lightning rod that catalyzed the formation of EJUSA. Throughout the course of the 2016 presidential primary season, EJUSA has emerged as a leader in the fight for honest elections, pursuing legal action in several states in an attempt to counteract specific forms of targeted voter suppression and election fraud.
This report summarizes the work of the Election Justice USA forensics and legal teams during this period. EJUSA is working not only to expose the voter suppression and election fraud taking place during the 2016 presidential primaries, but to build a mass movement calling for three simple, affordable reforms that will render direct fraud and suppression impossible, safeguarding US elections for future candidates.
A friend of ours who belongs to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI, has an adult (40 years old) son with both mental illness and severe learning disabilities. He has again been arrested for stealing a candy bar in a convenience store. No threats or weapons have ever been involved. Since this was his third arrest and conviction, he received a two year mandatory sentence in jail.

God bless America? Liberty and justice for all?
WTF
And this is exactly why so many Bernie supporters & volunteers are angry--STOLEN ELECTION.(& the U.S. monitors OTHER countries' elections!) As one who has been working on election fraud in Chicago with many others (as well as having contact with people in other states--e.g., Iowa was a caucus state {most of which were won by Bernie} &, as Iowans have reported to me, there were improprieties at numerous caucus areas--particularly in Polk County.)
ReplyDeleteNow, why did Bernie narrowly lose (although it was just .2%age points, as I recall) Iowa? Well, the forces were out, making certain that HRC would win this first--&, as first, considered crucial--primary.
I don't know what will come of all of this (well, I DO know that the EJUSA report will not see the light of day--i.e., no one will read about it/see it broadcast in the msm. This is one for "60 Minutes," "Nightline," & "20/20."
Oh, wait, I forgot--none of those shows do any real stories/investigative reporting anymore.
Edward R. Murrow & Walter Cronkite must be turning over in their graves.
I, for one, will be anxious to see what happens in the generals. I expect that the same kind of election fraud will continue on the Democratic side, just in case people decide to sit this one out, vote Green or write-in Bernie. (I would think anyone voting for Gary Johnson would be from the GOP side.) Whereas the Bernie Campaign didn't challenge as they should have (esp. CA!)/have lawyers on the ground, this won't happen with the lawsuit-happy Trump.
