I join all voters in both parties who suffered the long lines in Arizona. [View all]

Maricopa County election officials should have seen what was coming. Primary turnout spiked in at least one, sometimes both parties ever since the beginning of last month. And to provide 21 POLLING PLACES IN A MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREA is beyond stupid. I don't know whether the County Clerk is an elected official, but if so, I hope voters hold him or her accountable.
