Arizona Long Voting Lines: Supreme Court Gutted Voting Right Act

Wait, so invalidating those parts resulted in voter suppression which led to long lines at the polls?
Seriously?
YOu are truly the biggest dumbshit on this site.

Yes, that is exactly why Maricopa County, Arizona was allowed to eliminate numerous polling locations without prior approval/oversight from the U.S. Dept. of Justice.

Most counties surveyed by The Arizona Republic had enough polling places to average 2,500 or fewer eligible voters per polling site. Maricopa County had only one site per every 21,000 voters.

There Was 1 Polling Site For Every 21,000 People In Maricopa County, Arizona

That's a disingenuous stat. Those 60 locations were universal polling places which unlike local polling places, should be able to provide ballots to any voter in the county.

It was still a stupid move by Maricopa to try this in a Presidential Primary and without mailing every voter a ballot like they do in Denver or Oregon.
 
Or is it the large voter turn out?people wait longer than that to storm walmart


Just a question---------> If the intent was to suppress with long lines, exactly how did they know who they were suppressing? Not only that, but since it is a closed primary with no crossover allowed, exactly how did this affect Democrats more than the GOP?
I can tell you didn't vote in Maricopa County, AZ yesterday. With only 60 polling places in a county with ~21,000 to vote in each of the 1.25 million registered voters in the county, it was just a bit CROWDED where we voted. It was early, but we still had over an hour wait. When we came out the line had about doubled. If the Auditor, et al, pull the same shit for the General election in November, it will definitely impact the turnout.

I heard on the news last night that some polling places closer in toward Phoenix proper had 5 + hour wait times. This never would have happened if SCOTUS hadn't have red lined Section V of the Voting Rights Act. It would have brought the DOJ down on the State given this was a specific tactic use in the Tom Crow era to curb voting by "undesirables". Arizona got tagged for this same shit back in the '70's, so they know how it works.

So then, somehow the undesirables had to wait in line longer than the desirable people. Explain how that is enforced.
Yeah, that's it. That's just what they did in the deep South when Jim Crow was the Auditor down there 'cause that's how they got the "undesirables" to not vote with those longggggggg lines. Why Hell, your just as sharp as a bad B&W picture tube on a 1954 Admiral 17" console TV, lad!

Going from over 200 polling places in 2012 down to 60 today (after SCOTUS hacked away at Section V of the VRA in 2013) with the shitty public transportation here in this very, very large County is going to work hardships on folks with limited transport options, and that's just one issue. Must be too fucking hard for you to comprehend, coming from Inbreed, Indiana.

I guess you have an issue with enabling every ELIGIBLE voter to exercise their franchise without gov'mint obstruction!


It had nothing to do with the Supreme Courts ruling.
It had everything to do with the Maricopa County elections officials who made the decision.
This is their decision and theirs alone. No one else.
Purcell said it was because they did not have the money.

No, it's because Republicans hate blacks and Hispanics and want to disenfranchise them. And Bush lied us into war with Iraq. Get it right!

Doubtless they were concerned with fraud, unlike Denver and Oregon where they welcome it.

Arizona is an early voting state. Anyone can request a ballot by mail.

By all means, please list all the incidents of fraud in those two states and compare them to fraud in other states.

They don't have to if they don't want to. Some people like going to the polls to vote.

If you're going to replace 724 polling places with 60 UPPs, you need to have mailed every voter a ballot.

They could have served as a model instead of the disaster it turned out as.
 
Anybody who thinks waiting 5 hours to vote is okay...is a fucked up asshole.
What is the maximum time to vote, jerkface?

I've never had anyone waiting more than 30 minutes in one of our universal polling places or more than an hour at a precinct polling place.

You think a five hour wait to vote is acceptable?
So 30 minutes is the max, according to you?

30 minutes is a good standard to exceed.

Do you think a five hour wait to vote is acceptable?

You can ask for another to be mailed. You can pick one up at the elections office.

It has everything to do with it. They would not have been permitted to close that many locations if tha part of the voting rights act were intact. This is at least the third or fourth time it's been explained.


Then why did so many not get their early mail in ballots throughout the whole State and was forced to go to the polling stations?
Is that also because of the court? No it was not.

Huh?

Many voters did not receive their early mail in ballots, that includes me and my neighbor and we live in Cochise County not Maricopa.
There are two different things happing right now here in AZ., one is the long lines and the polling stations in Maricopa, the other is, many did not receive their early ballots or got them a month late and had to turn them in to the polling stations.

Not yet, this has not been reported it's too early.
It takes time to gather the information.
It is us the people talking to each other throughout the State on the net and to our neighbors.
