Democratic Party and Clinton Campaign to File Suit in Arizona

emocratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign will sue the state of Arizona over voter access to the polls after the state’s presidential primary last month left thousands of residents waiting as long as five hours to vote.

The lawsuit, which will be filed on Friday, focuses on Maricopa County, the state’s most populous county, where voters faced the longest lines three weeks ago during the Democratic and Republican primaries after the county cut the number of polling places by 85 percent since 2008.

However, the incompetence from the DNC in the first place is absolutely astounding! It's no wonder many Democratic members do not send money directly to the DNC any longer and prefer to find individual candidates. Arizona didn't just barely enact these voting policies.

Hopefully, they will fix these errors by the time the general comes along; since I believe the lack of polling places are in Democratic Party strongholds... And did a huge disservice to Senator Sanders on primary day.

Obviously it's because they are the corporate whore party and they don't want to upset any of their benefactors.
