You will also notice that eastern AZ., a district gerrymandered to favor super lib Ann Kirkpatrick also remained blue. That district is over 300 miles long and snakes around to hit the liberal university pockets and Native American enclaves. Pima Cty. and Cochise cty are still pretty much up for grabs depending if Barber can find enough hidden ballots to overcome the lead that McSally has at present.
Almost a 4 to 1 early ballot vs polling for Barber.
McSally a 2 to 1.
The sad thing about the gerrymandering in AZ, the repubs had control, but they decided to “share” their power. I’ve called Kirkpatrick several times before Obamacare was voted upon, even though I was not in her district, now that I am, she will be hearing from me a lot.
My husband just read over my shoulder to my comment and further stated that they put where we live, which is very conservative into her district, in order to disenfranchise us, and further more, not to add it to CD2, because if they did MCSally ( not that I personally like her) would be ahead by a couple thousand votes.
They put us in with a bunch of libs in order to make certain that the vote for conservatives never rises about 50%.
