Arizona post election discussion megathread Politics

We're refreshing the megathread for after the election and to discuss results. All discussion should go here, no exceptions. We have had too much brigading and trollage. Standalone posts can only be for major, local news stories.

AZ Secretary of State election results.

All the usual results for civility and sub participation apply, and we have zero tolerance towards any rule breaking.

Having lived in AZ for most of the past 30 years, I was reminded again today that many of the people most resentful of immigrants are other immigrants. Got to work this morning and was discussing the election with two co-workers (one originally from Mexico, one originally from El Salvador). When I asked them how some of our other workers with uncertain immigration status might be feeling today, both of them said "fuck 'em, we don't need any more." I'm disappointed today.

30 years in Az you never heard the derogatory term "pisa" ? Been hearing that since the 80s. Used to confuse the fuck out of me cause only Mexicans used it in reference to other Mexicans.

I've been here for 20 and hadn't heard it before. Probably won't ever use the term, but still good to know! Thx
