I’m back outside the Maricopa County voting center with another crowd of Trump supporters gathered at the same site as the night before.

Hello from the Denver capitol. Just got here as most of the earlier crowd was leaving. A group of about 100 or so have stayed behind, unclear for how long. Leaders stressing for everyone to go home.
Anyway, this was most of my evening
