So a good friend and I went to the vote tabulation center for M.C.C. in Phoenix today.

To my surprise the parking lot was full of workers. They begin counting votes at 7 a.m. and apparently knock off at 10 p.m. We both volunteered as democrats, but were told they were looking for more rethugs. Bwwwwwwwwwwa ha ha ha ha. Actually that is not a laughing matter. Could be they want more thugs to carry the boxes to the trash. To my surprise there was not a protester in sight. I think the thugs are burned out. We were assured that they were going to count all of the votes, but it may take until Thanksgiving. I was not really satisfied with the answers we received, and no one knew where the hell Helen was. I'm going back at 10 pm to check the parking lot again.
