This is good, but there are many, many buckets, and not all of them are related to elections in general, or the AZ election in particular.

The buckets are filling up, plus they are randomly being shaken/spilled a little here and there, to keep everyone on their toes.

Just like the enemy can create distractions in seemingly random ways, we can distract the enemy by forcing their fire on targets that wouldn't otherwise be worth the effort except they are the only hot targets at the moment.
