Michigan is one of six states to vote on Tuesday, and Sanders’s tweet comes amid reports of long lines at some polling stations in the state and wait times that were stretching into hours.

“At a time when Democrats correctly attack Republicans for voter suppression, it is disappointing to see people standing in long lines for hours today waiting to vote in Michigan and around the country. People should not have to miss a day of work to exercise their right to vote. This is an outrage,” Sanders said in a statement.

“Election officials must address these problems immediately, and if necessary, keep polling places open longer,” he added.
