Maricopa has been counting early ballots for over two weeks because they’re careful and thorough. When hundreds of thousands show up on the last day, requiring that same careful process…results will take time. It’s ok. Better correct than quick.

My opponent was at the US capitol on Jan6 and stood by while police officers were beaten and later died. He is also a member of the Oath Keepers and has advocated for stockpiling weapons to prepare for civil war. He is dangerous and unfit to serve.
