Not going to have anything to say about the big race but I have some mixed feelings.

The retention votes on the two state Supreme Court justices who decided that a law banning abortion that is older than the state of Arizona is the one to follow are weighing heavily to yes.

OTOH most of the other races I am following downballot are going well.

Not happy about the prop to let police arrest immigrants being favored, or really the mandatory life sentence for child sex trafficking because those kinds of things sometimes cast a wider net than feels reasonable.

But the abortion access ammendment has a good lead.

Yeeeah, the immigrant one's doubly infuriating since the GOP led the measure to make multiple-issue ballot measures illegal and then turned around and did it with this one.

Though I'm also cautiously optimistic that federal law will pre-empt this, since it pretty explicitly says they're the ones to enforce immigration, and they also set the asylum policy

It's just trying to make it so that police can harass anyone with less than obvious fluency in English.

Arizona or any other state can't just jump up and say "NUH UH"

Bugly42: Oh I know, I was here for the Papers Please bullshit

One can hope.

But it's also worded to make it harder for anyone to claim asylum

So was I...

since if you're already "breaking the law" they can just deny

Hopefully the Supreme Court won't mess things up.

But the signage everywhere making yes on Bolick and King about independent justices is disgusting.

see the sad thing is I've seen WAY worse signage in my neighborhood

like there's obviously MAGAts out there with way too much time on their hands who just want everyone to know how much they HATE everyone

(they also made a few outright lying about the abortion one)

Oh, there's so much outright disinformation on supposed campaign signage that I feel like we need some speech restrictions there.

(thankfully the anti-Transgender one they put up got destroyed)

Tucson is too liberal for that kind of stuff to really fly.

We mostly got the border, crime and tax MAGA bs.

Tonight at the watch party I saw a sticker in spanglish reading "ChingatuMAGA, pendejo. No Mas naranja."

I only know enough spanish to know pendejo isn't a good thing

I love that sign

But yeah agree with everything here

"no more orange"

Looking like we maaaaybflionrje state house which would be AMAZING

I think autocorrect just struck

Lmao idk what it even was doing there

Very helpful phone

We look to have the state senate.

Well, fuck. Do you think it's too early to start drafting za third impeachment?

I mean, do you really think the GOP Congress critters would decide that the third one is when they'd find their fucking conscience?

He could literally nuke a US state because he was in a bad mood and they'd be lining up to defend him

Unfortunately, no.

I would like Mexico to reclaim their territory in accordance with the treaty violations.

New England separatism for me

Apologies to those north of the Gila River in real Arizona.

I would like his fast food diet and complete objection to any form of exercise to catch up with him

Watching the word soup he is putting out?

No, I can't even listen to him speak

I wanted to see if he was going to declare.

He just had the audacity to say Elon saved lives with Star Link. I think that is the end for me.

Either way I am definitely not gonna forgive the NYT anytime soon for the shit they pulled this entire election season

May he be buried in lawsuits and illegitimate ballots...I am going to bed.

Media in general has been fumbling left and right.

NYT was leading the race to the bottom though

Simultaneously sanewashing Trump and refusing any positive coverage for Harris

First they went after her for not doing interviews
then for not doing the right kind of interviews
then for not providing enough policy details
then for providing too many policy details

They were barely distinguishable from Newsmax

I feel like I spend most of the time I look at the news going to several more sources just to try and figure out facts.
