This is a "dead" Twitter account, but I am keeping it up for the record. It's where my tweets, videos and photos from years of coverage live. Check out the new account @JoleneA1 to follow Northern Kentucky news from @Enquirer reporter Jolene Almendarez.

My 10 hour wait for Taylor Swift merch has begun. I arrived at 12:05 a.m. and am the 8th in line. (The 1st two people in line didn't want to be on video.) @Enquirer @taylornation13

I know this is my dead Twitter account, but I am posting an important ask: I am trying to tell the stories of transgender kids, teens, and young adults who would be impacted by the proposed KY legislation to ban gender affirming care for minors (among other things).

I know this is an especially scary time for trans people in Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati area. And I’m aware this is not an elegant way to ask a marginalized group of people to talk with me. But time is of the essence.

State lawmakers could override Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto mid-week. My cell phone number is 210-550-0087. I can be reached at any time (Really! Any time! Whatever works for you -- 10 p.m., midnight, 6 a.m., whatever.). Please share this post. – Jolene Almendarez

I want to explain what happened w election numbers last night bc I don't want an Associated Press error to shake ppl's confidence in elections. I can't speak for AP. I do not work for them. But most news organizations use AP to pull statewide or national numbers. 1/4

That is obviously a major, major mistake at the worst time. And I know some team of people was troubleshooting and bawling their eyes out trying to figure out what happened. 3/4

But it's important to remember that all of that was a REPORTING error. It's not an election error. Your election was likely just fine. /r 4/4

I deactivated Twitter for about a week and just reactivated it for election night. For a moment, I thought, "This isn't so bad." But I could have gone my whole life without seeing the incel video. 🙈 I've been doom scrolling for hours.

These are pretty close to the final numbers in Campbell County: 97.37% of the vote is in. We are waiting on write-in ballots. I have already checked these numbers twice and will check again when we get the write-ins. (This is for the local elections.) cincinnati.com/elections/res…

Update! County Clerk Jim Luersen just told us the missing districts are "ghost districts" meaning nobody lives in them. So all that's left are write-in ballots. It could be HOURS before we know whether we get those tonight or tomorrow.

I heard there's an election happening today? Jk. I voted for my grandfather, as I do every single time.
