catch Rachel, Ed, etc attention.

The story broke this morning and the estimate was 40,000. It's now being predicted that it's up to 600,000+

If you are not in Arizona, please please please get the word out... remember, our SoS is a birther, who tried to keep Obama off the ballot until the story went viral and he walked it back. Arizona NEEDS to be put into the spotlight right now!

I could not figure out some of the results last nite!! Now I understand

On Edit - one of the areas that had lots of problems last nite was in Tempe - one of the few blue areas in Maricopa county - they ran out of ballots!!

SECOND edit - here's the phone number, if anyone wants to call 602-506-3535
