Decisive wins for Bernie are being reported from Utah with its 37 delegates and Idaho with 27. One hardly knows what to write about Arizona. The networks were reporting it a big win for Clinton within minutes of the polls closing. Jeff Weaver was not willing to concede because he said that the "numbers did not add up."
However, a voter (I am not reporting his name) commented on Bernie's blog that major voter suppression had been taking place in Phoenix. 1) Only 60 polling places were provided for a city of 4.2 million 2) Independents who re-registered as Democrats in order to vote in this primary were kicked off the voting rolls and had to fill out provisional ballots that were not counted and 3) at one a.m., 6 hours after the polls technically closed, that is, no one new could get in line, there were still people waiting to vote at 51 of the 60 polling places.
This comes on the heels of a report out of North Carolina over the weekend from a student president of a university there who claims that the Sanders campaign had been infiltrated by Clinton supporters put in place by the DNC. Apparently, their job was to disrupt the campaign by not posting events that were planned, by preventing individuals who wanted to endorse Sanders from getting in touch with campaign headquarters, and giving a kind of make-work to volunteers that prevented them from phone banking. He named three individuals whom he felt were responsible. The link:

Before that popped up, a well-known expert in studying voting anomalies asked the campaign to look at the apportionment of delegates in Oklahoma. Link:
Bringing In The MoneyOn Sunday, the NY Times hit a new low in its coverage of Bernie's campaign. In an article headlined, "Hillary Clinton Campaign Has Raised Millions Toward Beating Bernie Sanders," the reporter's enthusiasm for Hillary's fundraising could barely be contained. Wow! Hillary had raised $30.1 million in February and (at last) had reached the one million small donors mark.
