Daniel Cameron leading with about a thousand votes counted so far. Anyone know anything about Quarles? He’s doing well so far.
How are the machine running? Ballots printed out on the right sized paper?
I’m not sure , but I did see some Tweets from Kari Lake about that earlier in the day

With 20% of the vote in, Cameron is leading by 25%!!!!
