If you're scouring early vote returns in Arizona to determine who will win, don't. Eight reasons the first 1.1M ballots don’t tell us much about the outcome:
1) Since 2016, Democratic candidates at the top of the ticket have outperformed the registration margin on ballots cast.

Good coverage on transformer manufacturing in WSJ today. Non-standardized products, skilled labor required, very import-dependent.
U.S. transformer shortage bottleneck: 4-6 week hand-build process by skilled "winders" takes 3-5 years to master, can't be automated.
Hitachi's Virginia plant expanding but needs 800 workers in 34K-person county.
14K unit shortage for large transformers, 123K for distribution units. 80% import dependency.

Charlie Kirk lost his life today because someone thought violence was the answer to political disagreement.
It's never the answer, and political violence has no place in our country. I'm praying for his wife and children.
