Any interpretations of the result? It seem like it should have been a bigger victory. We have a Senate seat up in AZ.

The Rats control all social media. They tried to make their low-information voters aware thru Fakebook, Twit, etc. that there actually was a special election today.

The GOP was relatively incompetent in that regard, so they turned a 20-pt. advantage into a 6-point win. But a win is a win.

Seems to me the Dems are getting too many votes.

People must still be braindead out there.

That is one of the most conservative areas in Arizona. The results are scary.

As much as I hate to say it, Krysten Sinema (leftist) will take Flake’s seat unless a miracle happens.

I would like to know what the percentage of voters in 2016 and today were on a precinct by precinct basis. My feeling is those areas which lean Rat probably had an uptick in voter response today, while the areas leaning right were probably down some.

Since it’s a special election to keep a seat warm for about 5 months, I’d read absolutely nothing into the “narrow” victory vs. DJT +20 in 2016.

Unless, of course, the voting percentages were the same or moved similarly in one direction or the other for both parties. Even then, I wouldn’t be overly concerned.

This election / margin doesn't mean a great deal. Highly R district ...no motivation or concern from our side, whereas Dems are highly motivated it appears to hurt DJT. It'll be a different story in Nov....we'll have reason to show then, too.

Dem was younger attractive India doctor but liberal. Conservative thinks well, but less attractive. Happy she won.
