2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSeems from all that I'm reading and watching
that the Arizona primary election was an unmitigated disaster, especially in Mericopa County.
I am wrong in thinking that a complete election do-over is needed? Lines at the polls that stretched until tomorrow (if you had to pick up kids from school, get to a job - you were out of luck), numerous video instances of registered Ds coming up as Independents.
This should completely unacceptable in America.

(27,223 posts)The only way it could happen is if there were literally millions of Republicans that insisted on a do-over, as they are the overwhelmingly dominant party here in AZ.

(1,288 posts)But from what I'm seeing (giant line videos/D's registered as I and given provisional ballots), this election should at least have a FUBAR asterisk next to it.
If this is the way elections are going to run, then who is going to be able to ask American soldiers to fight for the cause of Democracy with a straight face?
