Still not 'duly elected' ... anything -- Kari Lake, TFG Endorsee

[Luke]

Slim, here's the first unofficial breakdown from Maricopa. Pitiful turnout but more Ds didn't turn out than Rs it looks like:

Dang, looks like the GOP is catching on to early voting.

I was curious about the NOL and NON. I guess they are undeclared party affiliation. I am also guessing that AZ has a closed primary, so there is less reason for undeclared voters to show up, other than propositions etc.

That’s a large block of voters if that is correct.

Unaligned voters like me in Az can choose to vote in either primary.

NOL is No Labels, who had no candidates on the ballot (unless there were nonpartisan municipal races in the voter’s district). NON is nonpartisan. Independent voters can choose REP, DEM, or NON ballot.

Thanks Luke,
I owe you another cup of coffee, if I can figure out how to do that.

It's my pleasure. Some others I respect chimed in to reply as well -- posted the tweet below if you have any follow-ups (or ask me and I'll pass them along).

My question was: Happy Saturday, Garrett & all. If you have a moment, we're curious about the NOL and NON in this chart. Are they undeclared party affiliation? It’s a large block of voters if correct. Trying to understand the chart. https://elections.maricopa.gov/asset/jc ... 0.1.1-4266

Nol is no labels and non is non partisan ballots. (Municipal races)

It was a unique situation, Luke.

We have an open primary. Dems and GOP's can only vote their ballots.

No Labels could vote their blank ballot or a non-partisan. That 858 chose a blank is crazy, and is explained by confusion - voters and poll workers - and a sense of resignation

Independents could choose a Dem or a GOP (or a blank No Labels).

I was impressed that so many refused to pull a party ballot and only voted municipal (towns and schools). Again, confusion played a role.

That thread was was very informative, thanks again. I’m x-thing and facebook illiterate.
I am a little disturbed by what Arizona slaw said:

That 858 chose a blank is crazy, and is explained by confusion - voters and poll workers - and a sense of resignation

It indicates to me that the legislature has some work to do to clear up the confusion. I am worried that the confusion will add to the election deniers (kari lake) reason to repeatedly contest the election. The sense of resignation is scary, i.e. what putin wants.

I don't understand the "blank" choice for a ballot. What is it? Like all right-in with no candidate names in a blank ballot.?

[Reddog]

Good question, I thought it was strictly propositions, and non-partisan elections. We have open primaries here (mo), so the semi-openclosed is different to me.

Looked it up. In AZ it was because thousands registered to vote for the "No Labels" party yet that party did not present any candidates. Therefore Presidential candidate preference of those ballots were left "blank". (moot)

Their ballots still had any other non partisan issues on the ballots.

There was a lot of no contests in the Dem primary. Nothing to get excited about.

So saying she staked the McCain machine might have been ... unwise.
