Too early to call Arizona.
Too early to call Arizona.

Not for some here. They’ve already ensured us Trump has lost AZ.
I cant belive Biden would win AZ.
That is crazy talk.
Yes, it is too early to call AZ. The polls just closed three hours ago...I voted just before the closing time. They haven’t counted the rural vote yet. It will depend on the turnout for Trump in the more rural areas in the east and west of AZ. Those votes won’t all be counted for another few hours. There was a huge turnout for Trump’s rally in Mohave County last week. He’s going to get a lot of new votes this time. Because Trump’s opponent isn’t so unpopular this time, AZ will be closer than last time...maybe a down to the wire recount election.
As far as what’s going on here, I think it’s mostly that there are a lot of retirees over 65 years old in this state, and that group is getting more liberal as the older Baby Boomers become a bigger part of that group. These are people from the hippy/dippy left-wing anti-war protester generation in the 60s. They’re moving in here quietly from all over the country. They’re not all liberal but they’re more liberal than the old folks who passed away in the last four years. It’s not so much Californians moving in, who are used to cool summers along the coast. It’s more the older Baby Boomers retiring here from all over the country. I doubt that the McCains have much effect on this election. They’re really not in the news much here...it’s more of a demographic shift in the AZ population. That’s my political theory anyway.
But it’s still to soon to call AZ and the eastern/western rural vote may still win it for Trump. ;-)
