Arizona recount shows Democrat Kris Mayes beat Republican Abe Hamadeh

Democrat Kris Mayes is the winner of Arizona's attorney general race, a state judge announced Thursday.

Mayes defeated Republican Abraham Hamadeh by 280 votes after a mandatory recount was triggered due to how close they were separated after the initial tally in November, when Mayes led by roughly 500 votes out of 2.5 million cast.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Thomason unveiled the results of the recount in a hearing on Thursday.

Mayes' lead from November was nearly halved in the recount. The results showed she had 1,254,809 votes to Hamadeh’s 1,254,529 votes.

Mayes' victory is another win for Democrats this midterm cycle against candidates who endorsed former President Donald Trump's election denialism. In Arizona, a traditionally red state, Democrats defeated GOP election deniers in races for Senate, governor, secretary of state and now attorney general.

Hamadeh, who was backed by Trump, denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

In late November, he sued Mayes and a range of state officials alleging there were procedural and tabulation errors that, if corrected, would make him victorious.

The lawsuit was thrown out last week by Mohave County Superior Court Judge Lee Jantzen, who said Hamadeh failed to prove the errors he claimed happened. Hamadeh's attorney also acknowledged he hadn't gained enough votes during the litigation to change the outcome of the contest.

After the lawsuit was tossed, Hamadeh said he would wait for the results of the recount before deciding "next steps," but he has continued to maintain the election was mishandled.

Mayes celebrated the case's dismissal and said she believed the results of the mandatory recount would still show her ahead of Hamadeh.

Oh so that’s the game.

They want AZ government to be a lesbo freak show like Michigan.

Once they get in, they’ll never leave.

Thank you. That's not exactly a "metro area" and I've never seen the term "Texas Five." I thought at first you were referring to the "Five States of Texas."

By unscrupulous and incompetent pollsters like Baris and Cahaly, who repeated the same nonsense night after night on Vanity, lulling the unsuspecting conservatives into a false sense of invincibility.

This is why democrats love recounts. It gives them chance to cheat even more. A full forensic audit looking at ever process in the election would give a much different result. Start by going through the voter registration list with a fine tooth comb and verifying every part of it.

Abe Hamadeh
@AbrahamHamadeh

Maricopa County has still refused to give information regarding provisional ballots.

There are still 4000+ votes that have not been counted. We don’t know who they are, they don’t know if their vote has been counted.

Voters have been disenfranchised.
