It appears like a outright blatant attempt of voter disenfranchisement - yet I haven't heard any cable news shows talk about this and I haven't heard a comment about it from the White House.

Decision to reduce the number of polling places should there be a need for a run-off was made in March. Primary was in May and run-off was June 8.
