To say it has been crazy there is an understatement. I worry about her every day, but she checks in nightly to let me know all is well (thus far). She is confident in the local authorities' ability to protect them all, and looks forward to the day this is all over. I asked her about a recount, but she didn't want to even consider it right now. She is exhausted, as are many around her. Hell even the election workers who came down to collect their pay were hassled until the sheriff's department stepped in.
