Republicans and Democrats in Arizona came to an agreement in court Friday that gives all counties in the state until Nov. 14 to address problems with ballots, as vote tallying for the state's tight Senate race continues.
In Maricopa County specifically, Sinema has received 594,444, while McSally has 556,076, the office said.
The settlement comes after Republicans filed a lawsuit Wednesday in an effort to prevent Maricopa and Pima counties – the two biggest counties in the state – from using procedures that permit mail-in ballot fixes to occur beyond Election Day, arguing that the practice was improper.
The lawsuit was filed by four local Republican parties.
If the signature on the voter registration doesn't match that on the sealed envelope, both Maricopa and Pima County allow voters to help them fix, or "cure" it, up to five days after Election Day.
Roughly 457,000 votes remained uncounted, the Arizona Secretary of State office reported earlier Friday. The ballots that still need to be counted were described by the office as those “mailed in or received by post office on election day” and as “’late earlies’ dropped off at the polls plus provisionals.”
I don't think that's representative of Maricopa County. Note that the uncounted votes -- besides any the Dems manage to create out of thin air -- are early voting ballots. Early voting was heavily Republican in Arizona (44% to 33% with the rest independents).
McSally should be OK.
The RINO Secretary of State who was in charge of the voting process was primaried out this cycle, after a lot of problems in a previous election. Perhaps her eye wan't entirely on the ball.
