1.)🧵"Why it takes so long to count the votes in AZ": 1. Counting occurs in 4 parts: 1st PART: early ballots returned before election day (the results you see at 8pm on elex night). 2nd PART: ballots voted at the polls on election day. These are reported throughout elex night.

Get a call from the Pima County Recorder’s Office? CALL BACK! They have a question about your ballot. They try to reach you by phone, text, email or snail mail. Sometimes they even reach out to your household members! Feeling suspicious. Look up the website and call main number.

Barry Manilow wrote “Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm is There,” “I’m Stuck on Band-Aid Brand Because Band-Aid’s Stuck on Me,” and “You Deserve a Break Today at McDonald’s.”

He didn’t write “I Write the Songs.”

I realize this is a lot to process.

I’ve been kicked out of many govt meetings in my time, but I believe the most important meeting I have ever been told to leave was last month.

I had received prior approval to attend, drove 2 hours, arranged a videographer. I knew I would be the only reporter there… 🧵

My grandma wasn't eligible to register to vote until she was 30 years old. Now I'm the elected official responsible for Voter Registration and Early Voting for 634,000+ voters in Pima County. Thanks to @jkutzie of the @19thnews for writing about it.

We practiced with caskets that were stored outside our barracks building. To simulate the weight of honored remains, we’d toss several full sandbags into the belly of the casket and then, for hours, we’d go through our exact movements.

Over and over and over.
