Empty seats at the debate

I have it on good authority that there were a number of empty seats in the Performing Arts Center at Eldorado High School during APS' Gubernatorial Debate.

There were empties in the public seats, and there were empties in the press section; perhaps as many as 10% of the cheap seats and a half dozen more in area where the "letterhead" press had allowed themselves to be confined.

Good citizens who came to watch the debate, were told that
they could not, because there was not room.

Members of the press, who came to report upon the debate,
were told they could not, because there was not room.

And I know for a fact, that a publicly funded private police force, APS' Praetorian Guard turned away members of the public and members of the press at the door.

The Gubernatorial Candidates will not answer for this.

The leadership of the APS will not answer for this.

And the media moved along, long since.
