AZ voting seems to be a big mess. [View all]

But since Clinton has all those early votes banked this could work to her advantage. Wow, this couldn't have worked out better than if they had planned it.

Once again, chaos reigns on election day.

Hmmmm.... if you reduce polling places from 200 to 60 in a county did you think you are going to improve the voting process?????

Update: On the OAN channel they were reporting in Phoenix. People were waiting 3 HOURS to vote, people were complaining that they had registered as Dem but told they were not on the list as a Democrat. When asked the reporter said at that location it was lots of Bernie Sanders supporters. Isn't that a surprise.
