Report from AZ: Short lines, but busier than usual.

I was ballot #158, with the polls having been open about 90 minutes.

Saw many more Native Americans and Hispanics than I normally do at our polling place!



And, there were no creepy "poll-watchers".

I recently read a 1/3 of Arizonans voted early. I think AZ has a good chance of going blue.

I'm sure lots of Hispanic/Latino voters will be turning out to vote against him in Maricopa County, too.
