Can I just guess, without looking, that the date given just so happened to be after the election.

Even before clicking, I KNEW it'd be Maricopa and Arpaio.

Didn't we have this topic before?

I swear that I've read the same thing earlier, but it is fresh news...

Is this actually common in U.S?

FUCK YES I LOVE MY STATE. JOE ARPAIO IS A HERO FOR ALL US OPPRESSED WHITE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING OUR JOBS STOLEN BY THOSE ILLEGAL IM'GRANTS.

But seriously, Arizona is a shining example of how to be racist.

It's not the first time this has happened.  Or the second.  Or the third...  :(

But it will be soon.

Ironbite-honestly the amount of retardation the right is trying to do to steal the election is pathetic.

That's because it's a uber shithole within a shithole...

I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt if this weren't Arizona or any state in the Deep South.

But given that, I'm sure you'll understand why I believe this was about as "accidental" as the lady on the local news that tried to sue a store when she broke her leg and required several stitches after she slipped and fell on a broken glass bottle...that security cameras showed she picked up and smashed onto the floor herself.

As time goes on, the GOP's accusations of voter fraud, intimidation, and general tampering by the Democrats seem more and more like weapon's grade projection.

curious

I know this has happened before and always it seems to happen in black or hispanic or poor urban neighborhoods (you know, among people who tend to vote democratic

Has anyone ever catalogued all the times this has happened to see if democratic demographics are more likely to have this happen tot hem when republicans are in control?

That is a really good question. Why do the political parties in America seem to be in control of the election process? In south Africa we have an independent electoral commission which handles everything about the elections. Now I will be honest and admit I strongly doubt their impartiality just because of the amount of corruption within our government.

However they are the ones that run the polling stations, and handle voter registration and the counting and everything. Why does America not use something like them?

I think part of the reason is that we have primaries
