I agree it looks like some people got screwed out of being able to vote (that needs to be dealt with harshly). But I don't see any political motive. I don't see how it helps the GOP in the general election.

200 polling stations to 60 in a dem district not sure how you cant see it ... if they did the same in all districts for all parties or revert back to 200 polling places on election day I would concede your point .. but that seems not to be the case

primary's are practice for game day

"not sure how you cant see it "

Because in the primaries, Republicans run against Republicans, and democrats run against democrats. If fewer democrats show up to vote (while I agree it's unethical), it doesn't help the GOP. It means fewer people will choose between Clinton and Sanders. It does nothing to help the GOP that I can see. Zip.
