The Arizona Secretary of State has affirmed in testimony before the state elections committee that someone was screwing around the the voting in the Arizona primary<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s hearing <\/a> on voter suppression and election fraud in Arizona\u2019s Presidential Preference Election revealed a slew of failures, which took place at virtually every level of government, all of which contributed to the state\u2019s May 22 election fiasco <\/a> .<\/span>

<\/span>\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span>

<\/span>A poll worker testified <\/a> that the system in her district attempted to force her to give Republican ballots to Democratic voters throughout the day. To her credit, she gave those voters paper ballots and recorded every person that was impacted by the supposed system failure. <\/span>

<\/span>Secretary of State Michele Reagan testified <\/a> about what she claims were multiple unintended failures which occurred on the Secretary of State\u2019s website. <\/span>

<\/span>Those \u2018mishaps\u2019 ranged from the system\u2019s failure to identify registered voters when the information was entered in lower-case letters, to the system \u2018accidentally\u2019 showing 100 percent reporting, along with patently false election results, at least six hours before the last vote was cast. <\/span>

<\/span>One of the most important things to come out of the hearing, however, was Secretary of State Reagan\u2019s acknowledgement that voter registration information was tampered with. <\/span>

<\/span>When asked if there was any truth to the widespread allegations that the party affiliation of voters was changed ahead of the election, Reagan immediately responded by saying \u201cYes.\u201d <\/span>

<\/span>She then told the election committee, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something that I know <\/i> happened, and I know <\/i> it happened to people in this room. It is not hearsay. It happened to someone in my own office.\u201d <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
