"Also, the huge number of election officials who have left the profession in Arizona “could further strain the election system” the New York Times writes, based on a report from Voting Rights Lab."

I find this statement fascinating, given that I've applied for both entry-level and mid-level elections positions in Maricopa County in the last three months, and gotten the brush off both times. I'm a retired federal employee with a doctorate, so I think I'm qualified. Happy to provide receipts upon request.

It's important to note that the potential electoral chaos is mostly a downstream effect of the calendar for state and local offices. Because we hold primaries in August, any delay in those results will delay setting the general-election ballot, and there are deadlines for sending those to military and overseas voters.

In so many other circumstances, I'd rather no one be like Lela. She needs to get out of the way and elevate a young Black or Brown politician into the legislature - someone who isn't tight with the old influential NIMBY white Dems in our district. And Longdon isn't an advocate on disability needs when it's not related to a photo op or her personal needs. Longdon actually refused to engage on a mobility disability issue occurring in the Valley. I have the receipts on that, but of course these, and similar topics, will never get covered for obvious reasons.
