A. Kolodin and Shawna Bolick need to go pick up roadside trash. A clean Beeline is a more attractive Beeline. Useless people should always find their "center". They should stop pretending they have anything of value to impart to our State. Except for the aforementioned Beeline clean-up.
Most progressives noise makers are "too busy" or some lame excuse to not run for office but cannot wait to be a keyboard warrior -hiding safely from view. I am an elected official so I speak from experience.
AZ should adopt in total the voting system in Florida. And contrary to the assertion by Alex Gulotta, that people will not change their voting behavior, he is wrong and shows his elitist arrogance. Voters are smart and can adapt easily if give time and the information.
Bashar al-Assad hasn't been president of Syria for nearly a year, he was run out by the rebels and fled to Russia last December. The current president is Ahmed al-Sharaa, but the point still stands, as he also only has one wife.
Three of the most embarrassing things Republicans have done to make Arizona look like morons is Evan Mecham cancelling the Martin Luther King Jr. (Super Bowl loss) holiday, SB 1070, both racist and the Fraudit, thanks Karen, just crazy. Watched it everyday, couldn’t keep away. All made us look worse than Florida.
"Dutch water is expensive: " is on point. Robson sold all his water\sewer monopolies supplying his developments. Now, SaddleBrooke, where I live, has JW Water as the provider-HOWEVER-JW water is in turn owned by a London based hedge fund. The ACC was asleep at the wheel on these sales. Already a 28% increase is on the table for water costs-SaddleBrooke residents won't miss the money, but the process is suspect.

Did the ACC have to approve the sale? Or did they just wave it through? It sure seems like they don't put a lot of effort into some of these approvals.
Does it bother anyone else, ethically, that both Bolick’s are in important positions of government that can overlap? She a state Senator, he a Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court. She couldn’t even prove her residence due to his judgeship being protected. Both were duly elected. I’m uncomfortable with the pillow talk negotiations and her bring bills to the floor that possibly will go to the court. Does she run them by him? He is ethically bound to rescind his vote on the court in a conflict of interest but what influence does he have on the majority of the court? Just so many questions.
I think of them as the Bollocks power couple. They, more than most, have the power & ability to truly bollocks things up. This is a more charged version of the Clarence & Ginni Thomas match if only because of their formal power base.
I am continually surprised that no one has suggested posting the votes as they are counted. It is my understanding that, at least in Maricopa County (the folks I asked) the early ballots are tallied on a daily basis starting a week or so prior to Election Day. They would not say who exactly got to view these daily totals, but I assume <someone> MUST see those figures, so why shouldn't eveybody see them?
The fear is that posting results prior to 7:00 pm election night would influence voters too much. If candidate A is winning bigly early on, then voters might not be inclined to vote. That could hurt candidate A whose supporters might decide that they aren't needed while candidate B's voters might just throw in the towel.
When I worked the 2024 election going through the ballots, it was a surprise when most of the Republicans didn't show up on Wednesday after the election was called for Trump. We had to re-pair with other workers in order to get our work done. We work in pairs with a mix of political parties - Rs can't work with Rs, Ds can't work with Ds, etc. With a shortage of Rs, we had to pair up with Ds & Is to get work done. It caused a lot of problems in processing work.
This is the first I've heard of that happening, although it doesn't surprise me. I suspect most of those Rs volunteered only to save the election for being "stolen" by the Ds.
As to the count affecting the later voter turnout, I would love to see some research on the subject, but my gut feeling is that the effect would follow the closeness of the reported vote totals. If voters stay home because the lead seems insurmountable, then that lead probably IS too great to overcome. But a close vote would INCREASE voter participation, and likely to a greater degree.

Being sarcastic is not your strong point. BTW when are you running to show us how you can do sooo much better?
What sarcasm? These people are slime-balls and I can prove it. I'm busy.

You are an idiot. And a liar.
neat.gif
You said the same thing to me. Sarcasm not my strong point. I wear it as a badge of honor😂

Don’t Florida my Arizona.
FYI FLA has final results by midnight same day-it works and AZ could do the same. Easily
I want them right not fast.

Ah shit. My bad. Added a correction there. Not keeping up with my syrian presidents and their wives.
Syria is not on my day to day radar either, unless Trump want to spray it with his perfume.
Kolodin proves to us everyday that he’s unfit to be SOS. Keep shooting yourself in the foot, buckaroo.
Good thing it’s not the “Syria Agenda” because you seem to have missed some big things that happened recently…
lol fair

Did you have any notice that this was coming?
The current president of Syria is Ahmed al-Sharaa.
