I’m sure glad Raffensperger is SOS, he is new but outshines Kemp’s job performancein the office by a mile.
Meanwhile Kemp is shifting money from the folks that have no health resources to folks that already can afford health insurance:
“To do that, Kemp plans to expand Medicaid coverage to about 50,000 of the state’s 408,000 uninsured, extremely poor adults. To qualify, recipients would have to meet work or activity requirements the state would impose, according to the state’s initial proposal.
People who don’t qualify would include those whose work was unofficial, such as caring full-time for an elderly relative, or the disabled who aren’t declared disabled by the government, for example a mentally ill homeless person who doesn’t complete the process.
Kemp also plans to pour public money into the private insurance market, a move that is likely to reduce premium prices for upper-income people who shop for individual health care plans but who make too much money to get much help from the current federal subsidies.”

How does this accepted over total absentee ballots number compare to prior years? I requested my absentee ballot in August and still haven’t received it. Just called my county to request that they reissue it on Friday… I’m thinking the lowest bidder vendor they use in Arizona is overwhelmed by the requests.
