Upset about Foothills polling site

I am writing to find out who the people are who make the decision to have one place for people who live in the Foothills to vote. If they are people we elect, we need to know who they are.

There were 150 to 200 people standing out in the hot sun waiting to vote. Most of them were out there for two to three hours in record-breaking heat. These were mostly seniors, some fortunate to have an umbrella, most just standing there suffering.

This is one of the most important elections in history where the candidates spent over $2 billion trying to get our vote while the local people make it almost impossible to vote.

I'm sure that most of those waiting in line were not very happy. Voting is supposed to be a privilege, not a sacrifice.
