The obvious complaint is that only select polling areas were
given extended hours, when it would have been just as easy to
extend voting hours for the entire region....

... and that those areas heavily favoured the Democrats, so it
probably wasn't an altruist act on their part...

... and that similar appeals made by Republicans in Kansas were
rejected.
