R Gov won by 328,000 votes.
D Sen is winning by 32,000 votes.
R Gov won Maricopa County by 325,000 votes.
D Sen winning Maricopa by 32,000 votes?
[350,000] vote swing to D Sen?

I don't understand the bolded - can anyone explain?

It assumes little or no cross-party voting between the candidate for Gov. and for US Senator. For the Gov. T(R) to have won by 325,000 votes (Maricopa County, contains Phoenix) and 328,000 votes statewide, but Enema to have won by 32,000 votes, the would have to have been 350,000 party-crossing votes, and ALL going from R to D.

This in a race which was well within the margin of error for the Senate race the weekend before the election.

Bad Math. CPA : Cant possibly add.

(328 + 32) thousand = 360 thousand not 350 thousand.

"I don't understand the bolded - can anyone explain?"

Absolute vs algebraic sum...

For Ds to triumph, they had to overcome the Rs' 328,000 lead (to draw even) -- then surpass it by 32,000 -- an absolute 350,00 vote delta.

That is irrational -- in any American election. For it to happen in two senate races in the same State -- by the exact same 32,000 vote margin stinks to high heaven!!
