PHOENIX – For Democrat Kyrsten Sinema and Republican Martha McSally, Tuesday night was supposed to mark the end of a hard-fought battle that tested vastly different visions for the nation.
But as Election Day came to an end, the race for Arizona's open U.S. Senate seat ended exactly how it has played out over the past few weeks: too close to call with unofficial statewide results Wednesday morning at 49 percent for McSally, 48 percent for Sinema and 2 percent for Angela Green, the Green Party candidate.
An official victor may not be known for days – and maybe longer if the final tally triggers a recount or legal challenge, experts said. As Tuesday night ticked toward Wednesday morning, the lack of an outcome began to settle in.

The fix is in.

Distressing that the race was even close. Those who serve themselves are preferred over those who the country.
Says a lot about the deterioration of our culture.
AZ has been invaded by Rats from the west and illegals from the south. It sounds like we are going to lose the seat. I can’t believe this treasons radical is going to become Senator.
If you had bothered to look u would have seen that McSally
won Pima county 56 - 44 , hardly a county Sinema will gain votes in. Also Sinema “won” Maricopa county 49.4 to 48.6 , which will more than likely add equal numbers of votes to both candidates.
It’s not over until the Sec of State, or whichever office in charge of elections certifies the results. That is not done until all the counting is done. Races are usually called on % of votes counted in conjunction with estimates based on past voting in particular districts. But ultimately it’s not over until the vote is certified, or whatever the particular state calls it.
Yep.. exactly.
475k early votes from Maricopa County need to be counted. 85k from Pima cCounty. And 40 k were just announced uncounted in Pinal County. McSally will likely carry Maricopa votes by a small margin (3/4 points), Sinema will carry Pima votes by 10, and McSally will carry Pinal votes by 10 points. There are probably less than 20 k ballots out in rest of state. My gut says McSally wins by 5k votes. It’s close
I don’t doubt it.
AZ has been turning blue for awhile now.
I couldn't agree more. Military service isn't as revered in this country as it once was.
Rats from Illinois and Michigan too, enmasse.
America has not learned from 2016. Our election system is a joke.
Military service isn’t as revered in this country as it once was.

Sadly true. (Disclaimer: I am a veteran)
What's kind of paradoxical is the easy win for Gov. Ducey, yet AZ voters don't like McSally. I don't understand.
As am I.
Thanks for your service!
No, tat’s not correct.
They said there are 500K votes left in maripcopa and 80K in Pinal.
If the percentages hold as they currently are Sinema has a net gain of 14600 votes and would lose by aprox 2K votes.
These numbers are assuming the article means Pinal and not Pima (as I couldn’t find that on the nytimes map). It also assumes that the article is right and not the nytimes map because the article is giving The Dem a 55/43 split in “Pima”.
If The article is incorrect and they are indeed talking about Pimal and nytimes is right that McSally is currently ahead there then it’s much more likely that she holds on.
And we know what THAT means......
There are 40k outstanding ballots in Pinal.
What’s kind of paradoxical is the easy win for Gov. Ducey, yet AZ voters don’t like McSally. I don’t understand.

Sure doesn’t make sense, does it? In TX, Giv Abbot won handily, while Cruz barely squeaked by. Long time Repub county office holders, ousted.
Happening in TX, too.
We best get this figured and fixed.
The article said the 80,000 votes are in Pima... that’s the liberal county around Tucson. Pinal is much friendlier territory to be sure, but I see no indication they’re referring to that.
