We won't have a budget vote in the House after all today. Three Republicans (Fillmore, Grantham, Roberts) are gone and the Dems won't come to the floor to deny leadership a quorum. Members can vote remotely, but they still need 31 people there in person for a quorum.
Boyer and Cook both say they're yes votes on the budget now, but at least on the House side, they won't be voting today. And without Townsend, they don't have 16 votes in the Senate.
Bowers: “I would ask us all -- it may really be tough, but could we contemplate growing up and shouldering the responsibility together and think of together more than an individual and pass a budget?”
The House has adjourned until 10am on Thursday

House is voting on rule change to limit discussion, which restricts Dems' ability to prolong debate with opposition to the budget.
Bowers says it's a response to Dems denying quorum on Tuesday: “It was clear then by the absence of an entire caucus and by actions prior and currently today that procedural obstruction and delay have been instituted in lieu of civility.”

State treasurer @KimberlyYeeAZ has announced her candidacy for governor, making her the first Republican of note to enter what could be a crowded GOP primary for the open seat. #AZGOV
Yee says our way of life is under attack, vows to oppose "socialist policies" and opportunity over handouts. The former aide to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says, "I’ve seen firsthand what socialist policies have done to states like California."
Yee: "President Trump’s America First agenda had our economy booming like never before. But now, our way of life is under attack by the corrupt press, reckless corporate leaders and politicians who put socialist ideals over people, our freedom of speech and our elections."

A few audit updates unrelated to Ken Bennett regaining control of the audit's Twitter account ...
Bennett said the audit team has counted between 350k to 400k ballots. They've counted all or part of 16 of the 46 pallets of ballots they received from the county, and broke into the first of the remaining 30 pallets yesterday.
The latest pallet they opened included duplicated ballots -- ballots that couldn't be read because they're damaged, large print, overseas format, Braille or other reasons, and had to be copied onto new ballots.

Good morning. I’m on pool duty this morning at Veterans Memorial Coliseum, and I’ll be providing audit updates for the next few hours. #azauditpool
Looks like everyone is still mostly getting prepared for the day. Of the 44 counting tables that are set up, only 13 appear to have people at them. It doesn’t look like anyone has started counting yet. #azauditpool
6 of the 13 ballot analysis tables are occupied. They look like they’re examining images at some of them. Others are waiting for things to get started.
