J.D. Hayworth, who ended up on the short end of the vote count on election night, refused to concede defeat in his re-election bid for Arizonas 5th Congressional District on Wednesday.
the six-term Republican said he planned to wait out the final count.
Election officials said more than 250,000 ballots cast in Maricopa County have yet to be counted.
They were unable to immediately determine how many of those ballots were from the 5th district, which includes Scottsdale, Tempe, Ahwatukee Foothills, Fountain Hills and surrounding areas.

Just not counted yet.
Here in the 8th district, there were 210,000 votes. In Hayworth's district (5th), there have only been 140,000 voted counted so far.
According to today's Arizona Daily Star (Tucson), there are 341,000 ballots statewide (60,000 in Pima County) that have yet to be counted.

It's hard to understand how they are certain their marriage amendment lost if they haven't counted a quarter-million ballots yet.

"50.5 percent, followed by Hayworth with 46.2 percent and Libertarian Warren Severin with 3.3 percent."
Another example of the worthless results the debate society, I mean Libertarians get you, Democrats far worse than any Republican. Good job you Libertarians, how much freedom do you see any Democrats giving you? Fools.

It would be pretty ironic if the libertarian candidate ended up being the difference, and JD lost.
I'm sure they will be proud to have taught JD a lesson.
*rolling eyes*

Wow, thats a ton of votes. Yeah. Randy Graf lost to Gabby Giffords by 24,000 votes. (54% to 42% - other candidates took the difference). With 60,000 votes outstanding, the results could get closer, but should not affect. Graf, who is a strong Conservative, was abandoned by the GOP because he was strong on immigration. The National GOP (with Bush) and Giffords supports Amnesty for the Illegals.

It would be a shame if in the end he loses. Hayworth is a GREAT spokesman for the party.

It seems that many issues would be pending.
Even state wide issues should be impacted by 250,000 uncounted ballots.

Apparently Soros is bank rolling Libertarian candidates so that we go down.

Also, Hayworth said they'd update the web site at 5pm each day with the new totals -- anybody seen an update yet?
The web site says it has the thursday 5:18pm changes, and says:
Hayworth 67830
Mitchell 73762
Severin 4754
Total 146346
So they only added 6,000 votes, and the differences were nil -- Hayworth is behind by 5932 votes, which means he made up 23 votes out of 5000. Hayworth thought they would have done 50,000 of the outstanding ballots.
