Democratic edge shrinks in Arizona Senate, governor races

PHOENIX (AP) — Margins between Democrats and Republicans narrowed considerably Wednesday in key Arizona races as election officials chipped away at counting more than half a million mail ballots returned on Election Day and shortly before.

Democrats maintained small but dwindling leads in key races for U.S. Senate, governor and secretary of state, while Republicans were optimistic the late-counted ballots would break heavily in their favor, as they did in 2020.

It could take several days before it’s clear who won some of the closer contests.

With Republicans still in the hunt, it remained unclear whether the stronger-than-expected showing for Democrats would extend to Arizona, a longtime Republican stronghold that became a battleground during Donald Trump’s presidency.

The GOP nominated a slate of candidates who earned Trump’s endorsement after falsely claiming his loss to President Joe Biden was tainted

They really better not cheat either way in Arizona. There are going to be consequences. Folks don’t think so, but there will be recompense for all of the dishonesty.

If the RATs at the polls hadn’t turned away all the Republicans, this crapper race would be over by now.

From the Yavapai County Republican Commitee 30 minutes ago:

“Have faith everyone! Approximately 17,000 votes to be processed and counted in Yavapai. Almost all of these are early ballots delivered late ( on Election Day) by the voters, requiring extra days to validate signatures and process! 600,000 votes across the state still to be counted. Late early ballots and Election Day votes all now being counted are breaking ~65% for us.

So while we say our prayers, let’s keep the pressure up to get people who only want to vote on Election Day to stop using Early Ballots to do so. We need to help get them off the AEVL list with the County, and teach them to now use the Election Day live ballots that are counted that night!”

The usual shenanigans but I am feeling pretty good about Arizona after listening to Baris break down the numbers. The gameday vote was massively in our favor and they have not even begun to count them yet and its tight.

Our entire election system is broken and corrupt just like many of the people who are elected bt it. It should be easy and not complex.

That is what they were saying on the Charlie Kirk stream and they have some people very knowledgeable about Arizona elections online.

Apparently there were many people — perhaps numbering in the hundreds of thousands — who filled out mail-in ballots but brought them to polling places instead of mailing them. The ones who did this because they didn’t trust the system to deliver and count their ballots properly have been mostly Republicans. I believe THESE are the last ballots to be counted.

Kari was on Tucker tonite. Very confident. She said over 600,00 votes to count yet. She said most will be for her. She’s got this I think.
