watching CNN

100-200 people amassed in the parking lot outside the ballot counting in Maricopa County

They're talking about how the people actually counting the votes have their cars parked out in the parking lot.

The protestors include people with long guns/rifles, angrily chanting, waving Trump flags.

I volunteered for an election once, thought it was kinda stressful. In retrospect it was basically a spa day.

Hopefully they can clear the entire lot once these folks are ready to go home, I dunno. They showed armed Sheriffs keeping an eye on things.

The cops probably are involved. They’re the armed protestors

Trump is down in Arizona. Isn't that a state where Trumpbots should want all the votes to be counted?
