In reply to the discussion: Documenting Deliberate Sabotage (Voting in AZ) [View all]passiveporcupine
(8,175 posts)57. This is pretty damning, and yet she won't step down.
from your link:
county officials allocated one polling place for every 108,000 residents and said that Anglo communities had more polling sites per resident.
Voters waited in long lines to participate in Arizona's presidential preference election on Tuesday because of fewer polling sites this year in Maricopa County. County officials earlier this year said fewer sites would be more cost-effective while still accommodating projected voter turnout.
The Board of Supervisors approved reducing the number of polling sites in February on the advice of Purcell, even as the Republican and Democratic presidential primary races across the country were seeing large voter turnout. Despite that, Purcell said she still believed there would be more people voting by mail early than showing up at the polls.
Someone's head should roll. And that someone is Purcell. She needs to lose her job.
No mention in the article of the cases of switched party affiliation. So how many people had that happen to them?
