Mar 2016

For weeks, some Democrats have been sounding the alarm about not enough polling places in Maricopa County for Tuesday's presidential primary.

They warned that reducing the number of polling places from 200 during the 2012 primary election to 60 would mean long lines and discourage people from voting.

This hurt Hillary, too.. maybe more so.. since the diverse voters like her the best.

Thank you, pandr~
