ARIZONA CASE HIGHLIGHTS U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT’S HYPOCRISY ON VOTING RIGHTS
A major voting rights lawsuit will be filed in Arizona this week related to last month’s disastrous primary election – in which voters were forced to wait in lines of up to five hours due to a shortage of available polling places (and ballots).
“Arizonans were denied their constitutional right to vote because those who run the system weren’t prepared, and it can never happen again,” said Ann Kilpatrick, a Democratic U.S. Senatorial candidate who is one of the plaintiffs in the action.
Those bringing the suit – including the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton – allege that the polling place/ ballot shortages were specifically targeted to low-income, minority areas of the state. Oh, and in addition to the lawsuit the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) has opened an investigation in the matter – sending a letter to Arizona officials demanding that they provide information to the agency’s civil rights division so it can be determined whether Arizonans voting rights were violated.
