An SOS From Ground Zero
Maricopa County Hangs in the Balance
Kitty Gillespie
I love Arizona.
I’ve lived here since fleeing Chicagoland in 1984.
It’s the most amazing place to live. And living in the Phoenix area (the now infamous Maricopa County) gives its residents the best of all worlds. Palm trees. Cactus. Swimming pools. Arizona Office of Tourism weather that the country covets half the year.
Driving around the state is easy and always an adventure. The Grand Canyon. Tombstone. Antelope Canyon. Winslow and Route 66. Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine. Sedona. Bisbee. Petrified Forest. Jerome.
This is big sky country, where you can often see the clouds throwing shade on the gorgeous mountains across the state. And the desert is unimaginably beautiful, especially after the spring rains. In the middle of the summer heat, you can drive two hours north to higher elevations and weather that is 30 degrees cooler than the Valley of the Sun.
No tornados. No hurricanes. An occasional forest fire in the mountains, hours from most of the state’s population. The excitement of an infrequent, but dramatic, “haboob” (which used to be called a dust storm. But “haBOOB” is a more exciting term, isn’t it?) After a haboob, Arizonans will often post a meme showing a lawn chair lying on its side with the caption, “Marked Safe After Another Arizona Haboob.” Looks dramatic, but it’s more of a dry heave. There’s lots of dust in the desert.
I love Arizona so very, very much.
And I’m sending out an SOS.
SAVE. OUR. STATE.
The elections system in Arizona is appallingly broken.
There are two new comedy shows playing on Twitter.
The first is called “Arizona Elections for Dummies with Mr. Bill.” The folksy, singsongy, friendly Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Bill Gates, just went on a weekend bender, posting video after video on the @MaricopaCounty Twitter feed, answering voters’ questions.
True confession: I just can’t watch them all. I’ve watched a few, and they make my stomach turn. Here’s a sample.
You’re using TOTAL votes and not paying attention to what Kitty Gillespie is pointing out.
My bad..... I get it now. SoT wasn’t important enough to the fraudsters and that’s why it sticks out like sore thumb.
Even from the grave politicians are still spiteful angry little people. AND they still vote.
