The whole of the US is feeling the uncertainty with the "mid-term" elections.

But Arizona is in a dilemma all its own.

Arizona's primary election is 28 August,
which is tomorrow where this data is being entered.
On top of which,
long-standing Arizona Senator John McCain has just died.
His military funeral is Friday, 31 August.
According to Arizona state law,
the state's acting governor must name McCain's replacement;
and said governor has gone on the record as saying
that, out of respect to McCain's surviving family members,
the funeral takes precedent over the next appointment.

Thus, Arizona voters will take to the polls tomorrow,
voting for the other Senatorial seat candidates
as well as US Representative races;
and then they must wait until after 31 August
for the Arizona governor
to announce who will serve out McCain's Senatorial term.

It seems as if anything at all might happen.
And this from a state where,
when I was a small child,
the big Senator was Barry Goldwater.
