In a twist for some Sanders supporters crying foul on the part of the Clinton campaign (including accusatory tweets from Sanders staffers) over long lines at polling places in Maricopa County, Arizona the only Democrat on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is a Sanders supporter.

District 5 Supervisor Steve Gallardo, was one of a number of Democratic leaders in the state that endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders in his bid for the Democratic nomination. This, when taken into consideration with the shortage of polling places in primarily Latino areas and Clinton's polling lead with Latino voters and massive victories in other Latino areas such as Santa Cruz County begs the question:

Did the Sanders campaign, or supporters acting independently, intentionally disenfranchise primarily Democratic demographics of voters just to get an edge in the primary election?

Wait...no it does not. The damage in the general election of such a strategy is unthinkable and the benefits modest for a primary election that grants all delegates proportionately. To make such an accusation fails to a remarkable extent to see all the consequences of such a tactic or keep in mind the ultimate objective of both campaigns.

In the interest of unity and to preserve to whatever extent possible the dignity of at least one party's primary election, we must take greater care before pointing fingers at one another. Though supporters of each Democratic candidate do have differences, we should not burn our bridges lest we should wish to come together again when this election is over.

There is one very good thing about this situation though. One can hope that the outrage over long lines at primary elections will ensure that every vote in the state of Arizona can be cast without obstruction come November.
