2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Those who accused Clinton and the DNC of rigging or stealing the election in Arizona [View all]brush
(61,033 posts)81. You do know all the election officials who closed all the polling stations are repugs, right?
Tell me how nonsensical is that? That actually happened. Here are some statistics:
Most counties surveyed by The Arizona Republic had enough polling places to average 2,500 or fewer eligible voters per polling site. Maricopa County, the most populous county where Phoenix is, had only one site per every 21,000 voters.
Chris Roads, Pima Countys registrar of voters, said that Pima County (Tucson) had 130 polling places open for this election. Thats more than double the 60 polling places that were open in Maricopa County, where huge lines plagued polls and some people had to wait hours to vote.
Come on people. It's Arizona for God's sake.
They're trying to keep that state red by suppressing dem votes.
It was a presidential primary. Primaries are run by the state, unlike caucuses which are run by the parties.
Get It? The Democratic Party had nothing to do with people's registrations being switched or polling stations being closed that caused the long lines.
Let's not fall for the okey doke. That was a repug rehearsal for dem vote suppression in the general election.
It wasn't subtle and didn't go well, but whoever accused repugs of being subtle?

If Democrats don't get their act together, including re elections, what do you think they deserve?

This is not the same thing that happened in Arizona and apparently is now happening in New York.

How likely is it any Democrat would have the pull to rig an election in Arizona?
