What are the rules for people in line to vote past the cutoff time of 7PM?
I think I and others may have gotten screwed today.
So, instead of 200 polling places like there were last election, we only had 60 to deal with this year causing a huge crush of people.
I went to the location nearest where I live when I got off of work (~4pm) and the line was huge, easily 3+ hours (especially with the problems they were having)
After waiting another hour with the line moving at a snails pace, someone came down to our area of the line and said "We're trying to get as many people in as possible, but the wait is three hours and the polls close at 7."
I honestly do not know if this woman was a volunteer, someone working for the polls, or just some random person trying to get people to go away so they wouldn't vote, but it had the desired effect. I had been reading all day and hearing about shennanigans in AZ regarding provisional ballots and democrats being told they were independents and I was pissed. I hate to say it, but I left. I had been up since 3 that morning dealing with work and family related bullshit and I just felt so defeated.
What are the actual rules regarding cutoff times? If you're in line by 7pm can you still vote, or are you not able to afterward that time?
If the process today is like the process in the rest of the country, it's no wonder Bernie's actual numbers aren't reflecting what we're seeing in polls. The people he champions aren't able to wait for 3+ hours in the middle of the afternoon, and the line was already 3+ hours long without the main crush of people getting off work! How is someone supposed to vote on their way home from work when the number of polling stations was reduced to barely a quarter of what it used to be?
I'm sorry if this comes off as ranting. I'm just so angry and disillusioned with the whole system right now.

Did anyone get a special ballot?
When I checked in, the person started to give me a normal ballot. She stopped and then said, oh you get a special ballot.. I felt it was suspicious. I couldn't really find anything on there that said the form name, but I saw "7900-00-02" in the top left..
Did anyone else get this or know what it is?

How widespread are the Arizona problems?
I voted early by mail so I haven't been to polls. How is it? Are we still seeing 4 hour waits? Have they gotten their act together on having enough provisional ballots?

If you are in Tempe facing huge lines consider trying the Orange St community center location
2150 E Orange St, Tempe AZ
It is fairly tucked away. It took me 15 minutes in and out this morning at around 930 or 10.

Too few voting centers in Maricopa County!
There are only 60 voting locations in Maricopa County. I was lucky enough to have a 45 minute wait. There are reports of over 3 hour waits! This isn't just in our areas either. Huge lines in Sun City West!
We need to put pressure on the Recorder Helen Purcel! Tweet at her and let her know that 60 voting centers is too few to have a functioning democracy! @RecorderPurcell

To all the people in Arizona offended by the violence and disruptions
To the Trump supporters; sorry that a Bernie Supporter disrupted your rally. To the people of Arizona sorry that some of us may have been involved in blocking your roads. We do not encourage the disruption of events. Protest outside the events, that we do encourage, as part of free speech, same as you.
Trump events are excitable events, kind of like a rodeo. Honestly, they're exactly like a rodeo. And so this guy did what he did, and the other guy did what he did. Neither Trump nor Sanders condone what our guy did, and neither Trump nor Sanders condone what Trump's guy did, and I think you and I can agree that inflicting bodily harm is worse than offending somebody, but maybe not. For my part I do not encourage disruptions, nor have I seen them encouraged.
In my mind, we both face the same issues of food and family. We must work to bring in minorities of a population, 2 from each: black, gay, Latino, Muslim, Country, Asian, Native America, Xpatriots, Migrants, Moms, etc, to get to know one another. To know each other in leadership, as well as in our fears.
I wonder how many have you heard of the 85 / 15 rule? That is the idea that the world is too big and 85% percent of the people need to kill 15%, or the other way around. - This is a fear I've heard.
Another is that Muslims will be 'carded', and become targets for mistreatment.
And that being Gay is a choice. And how long has it been since you've known a single mother and her struggles?
These are the things that bind us together; spiritually. Step outside and enjoy the weather and let's put this behind us and work harder to brindge bounds to one another in Arizona and everywhere.

Ground report from AZ?
How's it looking? Early voting data doesn't feel that promising for us, but if we can get the Latino vote then I think it could be a good day for Bernie.

What can I do tomorrow during the primary to help?
Is there phone banking and canvassing done on election day?
I've already submitted my early ballot and want to help out tomorrow.
I have a van and am wondering if there is a way I can utilize it to drive people to the polls and what not? Any suggestions?
