When I went to vote in Maricopa at about 6:15 pm, I was the lone voter surrounded by about a dozen poll workers. I don’t know how the turnout overall was, but they sure seemed happy to see me. It’s sad, really.
FrogDad and I went at about 5:30, after work. The ballot-eating machine read “49”. I was appalled until the poll workers told me they’d had “quite a few” early ballots dropped off. They also said that Cochise County sent out over 22K early ballots.
I don’t know how many votes they ended up with, but it may not be as bad as it appeared.
