Alleged voter suppression in Utah as well as AZ.... [View all]

My friend brought this up and it is a good point. Has anyone heard about the alleged voter suppression in Utah or talked about it? Clinton supporters are pointing to this as being hypocritical, "you only care when you don't win a state".


Frenzy of voters overwhelm caucus sites around Utah

(KUTV) Utah is experiencing a frenzy of voting activity for the Democrat and Republican caucuses Tuesday night. Long lines have been reported in Davis County, Salt Lake County and Utah County, among others.

Long lines, a shortage of ballots and crashing websites all played havoc with a voter turnout that seems significantly higher than political parties expected.

The Democratic website was down but returned to service Tuesday evening. It listed about 90 caucus locations for Democrats. The party didn't require registration to vote.

The Vote.Utah.Gov website also experienced errors, returning an error message when citizens tried to locate their caucus locations. Later in the evening Tuesday, that site also seemed to work.
