(51,571 posts)Inadequate polling places in Maricopa County surely hurt Hillary more than it hurt Bernie, since the most impacted areas were in and around Phoenix and heavily Latino areas, which are voters who favor Hillary by a large margin. Hillary probably would have won AZ by an even wider margin if people in Maricopa County were not dissuaded by the long lines.
Yes, we should be mad and we sure as hell should get it fixed ASAP--certainly BEFORE the November general election, which is what the local civil rights activist in that article appears satisfied will happen. That does not mean the Clinton campaign is satisfied with that registrar's assurances, and it sure as hell does not mean the Clinton campaign is a "culprit."
What is sickening is all the Sanders supporters in thus thread, and indeed all over DU, who reserve their anger for and blame the victim of this scheme (Hillary), rather than the perpetrators (the GOP).
We should be united against the Republicans on this, not use it is a dishonest pretext to attack Hillary.
