Our local PBS station just reported a large ballot drop (1.1 million votes, about 1/4 of the state’s electorate) in Maricopa County AZ. Harris 50% with Trump 49%, but Proposition 139 winning big among the exact same ballots, 63% for. This would seem to point to abortion ballot measures having short coattails; that is to say, voters who vote in favor of relaxing restrictions on abortion are not making their choices of public offices under that same criteria. Long night. ---

> [@SunUp](#): > > This would seem to point to abortion ballot measures having short coattails; that is to say, voters who vote in favor of relaxing restrictions on abortion are not making their choices of public offices under that same criteria. Exactly right. These amendments have given female voters an out - vote for your state amendment to allow abortion while still voting for GOP Senators, Governors, and Trump. ---

Nevada will not give numbers until the last vote is banked. The lines are huge in Nevada. 3 hour lines now. So no numbers for Nevada for at least 3 more hours. ---

If Trump wins, the biggest problem I will have is he will never be held responsible for his crimes and a precedent will be set that some people are above the law. ---
