At least you HAD steak!Hey, don't knock ketchup on well done steak. When I was growing up, my mother would cook steak for dinner occasionally. Her culinary skills were to crank a frying pan up on high, place steaks in the pan and cook until they looked like shoe leather. Ketchup was the only condiment available to make them edible.
They’re doing updates at night, and remember we’re two hours earlier than EST. I heard today they still had over 600K votes to count. Yesterday I heard they were hoping to be done by Friday night, but I don’t see any chance of that happening. Also, these vote counts that you are seeing now are from the mail-in ballots, which generally favor Democrats. The AZ counting rules apparently stipulate that mail-in ballots are counted first, then the in-person votes (which usually skew Republican) will be added last.The Arizona race has been sitting at 72% reporting since around lunch today. I really don’t get it.
I fully support this plan because many liberals won’t go anywhere near a Chick-fil-A.Whichever way everything ends up, can we all at least agree that the fact that we can't get votes counted on election day in the year 2022 is a compete disgrace and a prime example of the ineptitude of our government?
Chick-fil-A would have vote totals 30" after each poll closed, and everyone would leave with a 6 piece.
There are principles, then there are nuggets and waffle fries.I fully support this plan because many liberals won’t go anywhere near a Chick-fil-A.
Also keep in mind every mail in ballot requires signature validation. That slows things up considerably. Not knocking it as a safe measure.

Other things: Maricopa County is the largest county in the nation by land mass and apparently now the second largest county in the nation by population. Before about 12 years ago, AZ always voted hugely Republican dating all the way back to the days of Barry Goldwater, so they were able to call elections quickly. Thanks to immigration and a crap-ton of relocated people from CA, IL, MN, etc, this state is now very purple, and the votes are close.
Very true. THere were some solid R's IMO that lost out in primaries to Trump R's, who in turn lost to D's. I voted Trump twice for obvious reasons at the time, but at this point in time, I think he brings more harm than good. His narcissistic tendencies, and his ridicue of deSantis leaning toward a presedential run are not going to continue to age well. Republicans that have moved forward and separated from Trump will be more successful in the long run. There comes a point when you just have to do that and get back to the business of why you are running as an R verses what the fanatical faction of D's are destroying. Moderate D's will hold strong. IMO, the strongest elected government has majority of moderate D&R's verses the outliers on either side.
