> [@rocking\_chair](#): > > they have heightened security at the counting locations. There were half a dozen protesters at the Prescott Valley food stamp office today. I guess it was too cold to protest at the Prescott courthouse. I haven’t heard of protesters at the Prescott county government building but I suspect that is because Hobbs is the villain, not their neighbors who work for the second largest employer in the county. ETA: YESYESYES!!! ---

It looks like MSNBC is ahead of the curve. CNN hasn’t called it yet, nor the NYT and Fox isn’t even doing any election coverage. ETA: Nor AP or WAPO ---

AZ SoS web site has not updated vote totals, MSNBC must have calculated the new totals from Maricopa website. I think the server I mentioned a few posts ago is a database server that the main web page pulls from. ---

I just broke out the good stuff too! Lets just enjoy this moment of victory before the Big Orange Baby starts whining about not getting all the attention and announces his run for the White House. I sure do hope we have at least 24 hours between. ---

[Pre-election polls showed the race was tied, but Hobbs’ victory was still a surprise to many Democrats who feared her timidity would turn off voters](https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-arizona-donald-trump-phoenix-doug-ducey-ceadb2bf55f1d5ec4760f423f1af0204)) Energy and charisma are overrated. Lake’s energy energized the Democrats.
