The Mexican gray wolf family living west of Flagstaff, Arizona near Kendrick Peak are blissfully unaware of the proximity of election day. They know nothing of the candidates’ positions, the ballot measures, nor the flood of robocalls asking for votes. They don’t know that they are in a battleground state, or even that they are north of the arbitrary boundary of the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area.
