About those math and English test scores - I gather they are from an Arizona-specific test, but since the fraction passing is significantly below 50%, I wondered how this compares to other states, particularly those with state governments that value education more. If anyone has a good reference point, that would be good to know.
The debate format is no longer relevant since Mr Trump descended into name calling. I am more interested in the candidates thoughts on key issues, like schools, water, infrastructure, prisons, homelessness, and healthcare. Get them on record in a Q&A. I want to know if the candidates have thought about any issue deeper than a sound bite. Maybe they can explain how they intend to do some of what they promised. And by the way, Ms. Lake’s zero income tax statement defies reality.
I applied to be a poll worker months ago and still haven't heard anything. I went to apply again but it won't even let me because my email is already registered. I know that election workers have to be politically balanced -- I wonder if there is only a shortage of workers for certain partisanships?
I was there last night (wish I'd seen you!) and I agree that it was pretty dull overall. If you don't pay attention to what she's saying, Kari Lake certainly has more charisma and presence. However, she made it sound as though the state has been run by the far Left and she is the one who will swoop in and save us with her "common sense policies." I suppose that does give a clue to where she stands, given that the state has been under Republican control for decades.

I'm one of those temporary election workers this year. Training last week and in the saddle this week.
