It is the responsibility of every registered voter to know what precinct he/she lives in. The reason voters go to the wrong polling place is because they do not know either what precinct they live in or the location of their polling place for their respective precinct.
Fountain Hills is not a large community and the driving distance between polls here is not far. Poll workers are pledged to do their very best to assist uninformed voters with respect and kindness.
I cannot understand why Mr. & Mrs. Zinn are blaming county and state officials because voters in this community refused to inform themselves of their respective precinct number and polling place. The right to vote carries with it a certain amount of individual responsibility, namely to know the basics of voting regulations.

Let’s not put the blame on someone else for not being an informed voter.
