Maricopa County Sheriff (@Penzone4sheriff). “It’s important to have an adult in the room when others are acting like children” says the sheriff, as protesters continue their ‘vigil’ outside @MaricopaVote
Sheriff Penzone cites @WendyRogersAZ tweet as "giving him pause" that led to increase in security at @MaricopaVote. He then credits @charliekirk11 for tweeting out for protesters to stay away from the Elections Dept. Penzone supports any help to stop crowds so work can continue
Sheriff Penzone says there's a line item in his budget that can hit seven digits to handle these types of protests-- why he's asking people to consider the cost to their community #Arizona
"I"m on the same page with those saying 'count the legal votes,'" says @billgatesaz, in response to how to deal with the 'Count the Legal Votes' chants outside @MaricopaVote. Signature verification, state laws & historic volume are why it's taking time, says Gates
"First in, first out" says @billgatesaz is how the votes are counted. "It is irrelevant & incredible distraction" for those alleging the false claim that votes in democratic areas are being rolled out first, Gates adds.

Two envelopes that were sent to Kari Lake's campaign headquarters in Phoenix last Saturday did NOT contain powder or harmful substances, the @PhoenixPolice Department tell @CNN
Police responded on Saturday at 10:15 pm to reports of suspicious mail, police said. On Friday, the day before, a volunteer said they opened an envelope containing a "white powdery substance and a letter" that included vulgar language
The @KariLake volunteer threw the letter and the powder in the trash, which was disposed of by cleaning staff, police say
Full statement from @KariLake on campaign HQ threat:
“Yesterday, a member of the Kari Lake staff opened an envelope delivered to our campaign office that contained suspicious white powder.” (more)
“It was one of two envelopes that were confiscated by law enforcement and sent to professionals at Quantico for examination, and we are awaiting details. The staff member is currently under medical supervision.” (more)
“Just two days before Election Day, our campaign headquarters remains shut down. We look forward to law enforcement completing their investigation as quickly as possible. Rest assured, we are taking this security threat incredibly seriously…” (more)
.@RealMarkFinchem in his speech repeats debunked election lies. Crowd applauds and reacts at each lie. #election2022
Sen @TomCottonAR on the GOP bus tour. “I need reinforcements in the Senate. We need to elect @bgmasters”
Cotton hitting the economy and border, the closing message of the AZ Republican nominees.
Academia has its day w/@IamSandraOh in 'The Chair,' but don't miss Oh's authentic, hysterical & human portrayal as a single Korean-American working mom dealing w/culture & gender expectations & generational pull (and this show nails what the old gen says about dating a white guy)
"Are you talking about me?" asks @jayduplass to @IamSandraOh. White people-- we are always talking about you.
Korean parents never stop criticizing about your life choices. It's how they show love. #truth@IamSandraOh
Outside the Phoenix, AZ rally that Donald Trump will headline, attendees are yelling at us, “No masks.”
We are indeed wearing masks. This will be an hours-long indoor rally as the Delta virus has led to an increase in #COVID19 cases.
Here’s what it looks like inside. The front section is packed— the back and two upper levels are empty so far. I’ve seen 2 masks on attendees.
The rally has officially started, w/@annamajaCNN & me among a very small handful wearing masks in this indoor rally for Trump
Good morning from Phoenix where AZ Sen Pres Karen Fann is holding a hearing on the latest on the so-called audit. Seated at the front is OAN’s Christina Bobb, who has promoted fundraising for the audit and spread conspiratorial lies #AZAudit
Former President Trump sent out an email blast saying, “Big hearing in Arizona.” We've been told this "hearing" does not include public comment or press questions. The room has quite a few spectators #AZAudit
In addition to OAN, Victory News and Gateway Pundit are present. I also see local news stations here.
