Thousands of votes were not cast in the Tuesday, March 22, 2016 presidential preference election in Maricopa County, Arizona as a result of the decision to reduce the number of polling places from 200 in 2012 to just 60. There was one polling place for roughly every 108,000 voters. Lines were reportedly five hours long at some locations. Some predominantly minority neighborhoods had no polling location at all. Anglo communities had more polling sites per resident. Thousands were disenfranchised. This was made possible when the Supreme Court of the United States gutted the Voting Rights Act. As a result of this massive disenfranchisement, unprecedented in modern history, we demand the results of the 2016 presidential preference election in Maricopa County, Arizona be nullified immediately.
