Gotta say a shout out to the Maricopa County Dem Party

Total pros. I was a teensy part of their operation and they absolutely knew their stuff. They were organized, knew who needed to vote, found them, and turned them out. Old fashioned ground game, door to door, signs in yards, blood sweat and tears.

Biden signs were everywhere in Maricopa Co by the way.

They created a great roadmap for the future. People say that, "Oh Maricopa Co is changing demographically." Bullshit. So was Miami Dade. It isn't just that easy as hoping the demographic ages in to the voter pools.

Thank God. Nite nite.

We are a different state than Florida though. We don't have a bunch of anti-Castro Cubans here. Biden won 70% of the Latino vote.

I was just pissed off listening to John King saying, oh well this place has changed. It changed because the party fricking changed it. And the Maricopa guys were serious as shit.

And let's give concentration camp commandant Arpaio and his admirers their due, and all the voters, notably including Arizona's Hispanic voters, who had a real problem with them.
