Watch:Voters Enraged Over Botched Election Pack Arizona Capitol Hearing; Officials Take Blame

The fallout of last week's bungled Presidential Preference Election in Arizona continued this week as officials and angry voters packed a hearing at the Arizona Capitol.

Many of the voters were among those who spent hours in line last Tuesday waiting to vote. Yesterday, they spent hours giving election officials a piece of their mind.

The boisterous crowd at the state House of Representatives had to be told repeatedly by Elections Committee Chair Michelle Ugenti-Rita (R-Scottsdale) to pipe down. Some crowd members stood up with their backs to the proceedings in protest; one held a hastily scribbled sign reading, "Voting Suppression!"

People applauded Ugenti-Rita when she demanded that Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell explain personally how the problem occurred. At point, Purcell bleated, "I made a giant mistake!"

1. Thank You so much for this OP

I have just finished watching the first vid. It was an eye opener.
For those who say that this was all about Sander supporters being sore loser, you couldn't be more wrong.
This was republican voter suppression at it's finest and it does need to be addressed so that we don't see this happen in the GE.

Now to watch the second vid.

2. You're welcome!

I watched it on live streaming yesterday. I'd much rather form an opinion by actually watching the hearing than to read someone's opinion about it.

Let me know your thoughts after watching Part 2.
