Helen Purcell (Republican) Maricopa County Recorder reduced polling stations from 200 to 60 in 2012.
Helen Purcell website:

Press Release:
Unlike typical elections, voters will be able to go to any of the 60 polling places conveniently located throughout the County to vote in the Presidential Preference Election on March 22nd. These polling places are for this election only. Voters will have to go to their assigned polling place to vote in the August 30th Primary and November 8th General Election.
Polling places are open from 6:00am to 7:00pm on Election Day.

They warned that reducing the number of polling places from 200 during the 2012 primary election to 60 would mean long lines and discourage people from voting.
They said the fact that some predominantly Latino areas got one or none polling places essentially translates into voter suppression.

Seattle ranks highest per capita donations for Bernie Sanders

Itemized donations from Seattleites to Sanders totaled $596,578 through Jan. 31. That pencils out to a rate of $893 per 1,000 city residents, handily beating out No. 2 San Francisco and No. 3 Portland

Tim Canova vs. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the establishment
If the Florida Democratic Party continues to deny my request, please promptly provide us with a copy of the exact provision in the state partys by-laws or rules upon which the denial is based, and all other provisions and agreements relating to this issue.

Hi Folks!
My friend in LA recommend this site to me recently, glad to be here.
Actually to be honest he called me very upset, he asked if I would join and help him. I do want to be a DU member as well, though if anyone could help my friend, it'd be a very warm welcome.
His sn is blueintelligentsia and he was recently banned, i'm not sure why exactly, but he seemed to make it sound like it was for no reason.
Cheers!
Edit: he's pretty much given up, so I hope to make the best of this forum regardless.
