From Robert Reich
Voter suppression comes in many forms – such as fewer polling stations. Just 60 polling stations were open in Maricopa County yesterday, the most populous in Arizona -- forcing some voters to wait 5 hours in line. Bernie justifiably called it a “disgrace.” In 2012 there were at least 200 polling stations; in 2008, 400. Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell, a Republican (pictured below) said she took full responsibility but voters could have voted early had they wanted to. “That was their option in this instance," she said.
Baloney. Voting is a right, not a privilege. No one knows how many voters gave up on Wednesday and whom they might have voted for, but the fiasco draws the results into question, and gives our democracy another black eye.

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
