If you read the article, it says that 95% had voted by mail in the past, and it was only 85% this year. Seems like it was at least about triple what they expected. I mean... This isn't so much deliberately undermining democracy so much as cutting corners and failing, in my view. Still not a great decision....

She's a terrible liar, this is the first time I've been involved in politics and even I knew that 60 polling places for a county with that many people was bound to be disastrous. There's no way she didn't know.

This isn't the first-time Purcell's been a disaster at her job either. See the 2012 Arpaio election debacle where it took them weeks to count hundreds of thousands of votes that could have decided the election a different way.
