Just voted in AZ's primary. Turnout is very light in my precinct.

I was voter 208 at 3:15 pm.

I am in a VERY RED precinct, though. Maybe Puke voters are not energized?

I have to say, I have seen more yard signs for Dems than I ever have before, to the point where I think they actually outnumber the Puke signs.

So, maybe the bulk of the 208 votes so far are the minority Dems in the neighborhood?

I'm just speculating, but I do find it interesting....

It's really hard to say. Sheriff Joe is VERY popular, but has lost some of his luster. Coventina Aug 2018 #2

Or Mr. and Mrs. Crazy Pants?

I think either of the two nut bags might provide an opening to a Dem in November, but heaven help us if either of them actually won! It's kinda like Kobach in Kansas. I sure hope the Dem can take the governorship, but this is Kansas we're talking about.

Kelli Ward, I think is kind of seen as a nutcase, so I think McSally has the best chance.
I'd hate to bet money on it, though.

I wish Jeff Flake would do the right thing and caucus with the Dems for the rest of his term. I guess he has a big time Republican lobbying job or something waiting in the wings. Maybe he thinks he's Presidential material down the road. He often talks the talk but never walks the walk.

Not much to decide--I voted for Matt Heinz in district 2. 538 has his
opponent at 9 to 1 (Kirkpatrick), so it's a very long shot for Heinz.
But I like to complain about politics, and I believe that if I don't vote,
I'm not allowed to do that.
