Dear America

I apologize on behalf of my entire state for dragging our feet in regard to counting our votes. We're not all drunk at a strip club, promise!

(Sorry, don't mean to get political, but my anxiety has reached a peak I never knew existed and it's all because of my damn state. And my second home, Arizona.)

ETA: One of our ballot questions here was whether or not to add protection for same sex marriages into our constitution and, from last check, it was passing with something like 62% approval. One of my kids pointed out to me last night that we are the first state to add protections of this sort to our constitution. So, we're not all bad. Just... slow AF. :)

Jeeze, it's painful from here, I hate to think what it's like from your position. Thankfully our election (much smaller since NZ is only state-size) went much smoother and we have a complete Labour government (left-leaning) without it having to be a coalition! I'm sending all the vibes your way that it will all be counted soon, no matter what the Orange Menace does next.

And my joke for you is this:

Q. What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming? A. Here come the elephants.

Q. What did Tarzan say when he saw the elephants coming wearing sunglasses? A. Nothing, he didn't recognise them.

Q. Why do elephants paint their balls orange? A. So they can hide in orange trees.

Q. Why did Tarzan die? A. He tried to pick the oranges.

Hope that made you smile at the very least!

While we never have definite totals on election day, it generally doesn't drag out like this either. But, with the pandemic, I think a lot more people opted to vote via absentee ballot and that's slowing things down. Thank you, I do appreciate that!

HAHAHAHA! I love it. Thank you!
