voting irregularities

President Donald Trump yesterday congratulated Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan following his victory in Sunday’s referendum.
The White House released a brief readout of the phone call between the two leaders in which they also discussed the recent US airstrike on Syria.
Trump’s phone call contrasts sharply with European leaders who have sharply criticized the referendum describing the narrow victory as a sign of authoritarianism.

If you don’t already know what’s going on in Arizona, and in Maricopa County in particular, you’re bound to hear more about the voter suppression that took place last week, on March 22, during the state’s presidential primaries. The local papers promptly reported that the county provided just one polling place per every 21,000 voters. Indeed, we suffered greatly in Maricopa due to the decrease in polling sites—down from 200 in 2012, to only 60 sites last week. Passing a downtown polling place, I spotted a line that seemed at least 100 people long.
