Trending Politics ^ | 11/08/2024 | Mark Steffen

The long-awaited arrival of ballots from Arizona’s Maricopa County has brought good news to Kari Lake, the firebrand U.S. Senate candidate still in the running against Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ).

The Lake campaign on Thursday night revealed that the Republican picked up 57.39% of the nearly 70,000-ballot drop from Maricopa County. The result puts her a hair’s width of overtaking Gallego’s 0.7% lead; he holds a 43,846-vote lead with over 75% of the vote counted, according to NBC News. A third-party candidate, Eduardo Quintana, managed to siphon away more than that, or 53,596 votes.

Kari Lake is a very good woman, and Ruben Gallego is a crook!

We deserve to have Kari Lake in the new-improved US Senate!

And all over the Big Steal attempt in CA to steal the house.

we wont know until next week because CA counts ballots mailed in on election day and that could take two weeks for them to receive the mail.

in other words, it’s a huge con

Its insane that TRUMP currently is winning Maricopa County...

Absolutely insane, may not hold, still about 500k+ votes outstanding but just insane how massive this victory is.

Used to go to Diamondbacks opening day every other year. Downtown Phoenix has gone from a very livable big city to a bum infested shit hole over the last 3 years. It doesn’t shock me at all that Trump wins Maricopa.

The Yavapai County Republican Party reported this morning there are 50,000 ballots from the county to be counted. That should give her another 15,000 to 20,000 gain.

I’ll be surprised if this race is decided before the end of the month.
