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.

So why don’t they have the votes counted yet? What are they saying is the reason
I have never detested a group of people so much.
All you need to do is extrapolate. Now I see the right numbers. If the percentages hold and you just play out the game you’ll see that based on what the article says is outstanding the Dem will net 14K+ from Maricopa and Pima. Since Pinal is also out McSally will increase her 16K slightly as well so just based on what I see McSally should win by just of 2K votes. Of course this is only if the numbers hold. Since they are not election day votes (as I understand it) the voter pool may be drastically different.
That’s what they do here in Georgia. Stacey Abrams apparently has several boxes of them in her car. My wife just pointed out that these inconclusive ballot-counts NEVER end in GOP victories. Wonder why not?
Yea, I just checked. There are also votes out in Pinal. See my post above and I fixed it. McSally will win if the outstanding votes follow the trend of election day votes.
I have never understood this.
We vote for a Republican governor and Phoenix almost always votes for a RAT mayor.
Manufacturing votes that were not cast takes time.
Article didn't say...
Read the article. You're confusing Pima County with Pinal. Pinal is friendly territory for McSally, but the 80,000 votes still to be tabulated are in Pima, a democrat stronghold. From this article: "Sinema carried a strong lead in Pima County, with 55.2 percent of the vote counted so far, while McSally only received 42.8 percent."
Sinema’s sixth “C” is real.
If that's the case, it'll be helpful.
First off, McSally is a terrible candidate, she sounds like a GPS direction voice. She is a Never-Trumper who has pretended to be in favor of his policies to help her get elected. Most Arizonans know what a Prima Donna she is. The only reason she became the nominee is that Dr. Kelli Ward is an even worse speaker, who ran a terrible primary campaign.
Speaking of primary campaign, the media covered Ward and McSally staining each other, while Sinema got tons of favorable coverage making fuzzy-warm speeches about how caring she is, and how mean Republicans are.
Sinema also benefited from tons of outside money. (Read: Soros) There is no way McSally could afford the media blitz that Sinema had courtesy of the foreign money.
I actually told my friends that Sinema would easily win, so McSally's showing proves half of Arizonans are smarter and more conservative than I thought. Unfortunately, between downtown Phoenix, Tucson, and the Indian reservations that always vote for more free stuff since they don't pay taxes, the rest of the state has a tough time holding the fort.
“Military service isn’t as revered in this country as it once was.”
Why should it be when most recent (30 years) military service involves long-term engagement in places where we have no business being.
Results are ever so slowly coming in but right now, it’s just a trickle:

There can’t be 500,000 remaining uncounted votes in Maricopa County. Gov Ducey is only leading by 300,000.
MethLab of Democracy
There’s something very odd going on.
Site says 50% precincts reporting????? This morning it was 99%.
WTH is going on?
Ok got it THANKS!
Here we go again in a close election, ‘found’ ballots.
