Treasurer Beth Ford is now in the lead in her race. Stay tuned.
No matter the outcome this has been a momentous election. Az fared better than most other states with it’s very simple approach to voting. ALL voting ceased at 7 PM Tue, except for those already in line, and no more drop off ballots were accepted. The polling place where I worked rigidly adhered to the law with about 300 people getting voted and only two turned away, one who was not even registered and another who claimed to live in an entirely different county with NO ID whatsoever. A very long but rewarding day 😷
