The way the elections were run, has a lot of R's very unhappy. A great example is the recount happening here in AZ. between the stalling from not only D's but McCain style R's it was a long road to get to this point. IMO. Career politicians have been against any recount, as it puts them in a dangerous place, as we saw during trumps term.
The feeling around here, speaking from a position as a one with close ties to the Yavapai cty R precinct committee people is one of anger. Especially when those who fought and spent their own money to get to this stage. Were met with serious resistance from the State GOP as well as other politicians.
THE TLDR version
Voters feel like they were screwed when the SoS called the election early. Even more so, when the Guv did nothing to question said SoS call. As well as ignoring his voting base, not only in the legislature, but in private as well.
That anger might just keep R's home in 22.
Is Bill Simon running again?
He is like Bob Beuprez of California. He ran twice including recall election (later dropped out and supported Arnold)

Yes Sir, I understand - it would be (to me) a big mistake to stay home in 22. My perspective is this, defeat is contagious. Courage is also contagious. R's, Conservatives everywhere (cause not all Republicans are truly "conservative") need to get over the anger and get courageous and fight (figuratively of course) by voting, writing the elected (legal or not), and winning hearts and minds of others who think likewise.
Or, accept defeat and wallow in it.
I know I'm not going to accept defeat or wallow in it. I've writing, I'll be voting, and I'm reaching out to the "new" gun owners I know to ensure they understand the rights they have that are God given, not elected official given, and that THEY EACH have a responsibility to ensure generations after ours have those same God given rights.
Maybe some think that's na?ve, that's THEIR God given right. For me, it's all I know - setback, pick yourself up, get back in the fight. There are people (some yet unborn) depending on it.
