Happening momentarily: @GovernorHobbs gives her first State of the State address.

I'll 🧵it here 👇 But while we're waiting, here's a look at the new political reality that exists for GOP lawmakers, who are in for a sea change at the Capitol azmirror.com/2023/01/09/ari…

The gains the Dems made here is *VERY* important for understanding how the next several days are likely to go as they process the remaining 275,000 or so ballots in Maricopa County

BLUF: Dems are well-positioned to win these statewide races You can take the #AZSEN and #AZSOS races off the table -- AP has called the Senate race for Kelly, NBC has called the SOS race for Fontes. Both lead by 5%+ and would need to win nearly 2 in every 3 remaining ballots to come back. That won't happen.

On Friday, @arizona_sos said it turned in 141,714 signatures.

@SecretaryHobbs' Office said there were 8,175 petition sheets submitted.

That would be 17.3 signatures on average per sheet.

Since there's only 15 lines per sheet, that's impossible. That few petition sheets also makes it almost impossible that they gathered the 118,823 valid signatures needed.

That would require more than 14.5 signatures per sheet on average.

I've looked at a few hundred sheets, and many (unsurprisingly) are incomplete.

THREAD

It's nearly time for the weekly #COVID19 update from Gov. Ducey et al.

I'll do my best to cover the event in this thread, but here's the link if you want to watch along youtube.com/watch?v=z69sbd… I'm not entirely certain what will be announced today, but there are rumors that the ratcheting back on the March-May shutdown rules will continue, this time with restaurant dining rooms being shut down again.

I've got a few things to get off my chest about what the Arizona Mirror is, what it isn't and why the bad-faith critics don't make me lose any sleep. Interested? Then stick around for what is sure to be a far-too-long thread! (Or just read this: azmirror.com/blog/a-few-fri…) Look, I'm used to getting disingenuous complaints – almost exclusively from conservative politicians, activists, political consultants and corporate lobbyists – that we exist to ensure Democrats are elected and are part of a “dark money” propaganda plot.
