Forget democracy abroad. Let's worry about Arizona.

Remember when tens of thousands of people waited in the hot sun to vote in the very first election of the independent nation of South Sudan?
It was just like Arizona's 2016 presidential primary election, except the lines in the South Sudanese capital were shorter.
Seeing as Arizona isn't a new democracy born of a war-torn nation, it's not inspiring to watch people wait five hours to vote there. It's just outrageous.
Some folks didn't get to cast their ballots until midnight, hours after the election had been called for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Others were told by poll workers to go home because the race had already been decided.
