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

Exactly. The last dump from Maricopa was only 30,000 votes. It put Hobbs up another 4k. That batch did not include Election Day votes, which should break heavily to Lake. The release was intentionally timed to do the most psychological damage as possible. We have to wait yet another day for results. It is civic terrorism.
OF course they did. They waited all day to release numbers that increase the democrat edge. And many of the votes came from counties that went for Lake. Suddenly the votes are going the other way. Nothing to see there. For most of day they released no numbers at all. And now many counties are just sitting and releasing no numbers at all.
How likely does a republican treasurer lead by 200K+ votes but republication Senator is down 80K+ votes? Almost a 300K vote difference?
That is a 15% swing. I do not think that is possible.
I forgot to add.....turns out my wife worked with Kari’s sister for years! Her name is Vicki. She’s still friends with her, including on FB. So I may be going to the innauguaration in 2024. That’s how i see it.

Maricopa County - 62,034 Ballots Reported
Kari Lake - 28,058 (45.9%)
Katie Hobbs - 33,018 (54.1%)
~360,000 Ballots left in Maricopa
Reminder(!!!) - This drop is only about 15% of the total ballots remaining and the batch we expected to be the worst for the Republicans.
AP is toying with us. Releasing this and then the lead widens. Anyone who does not have their heads up their butts knows whats going on.
They have been cheating. They've been having all kinds of coinkydinky issues with machines, ink for ballots et al. They only had one thing to do, and they had months to prepare and now they're trying to pull off the fraud again. There is no reason for an election to take days and weeks to count. It reeks like a 4 day old homicide scene.
Hobbs will get the fraud machine running overtime.
Yahoo! still shows 48 tied for both parties.
“Do Repubs now have control of the Senate? This site now says 48 Dems, 49 Repubs”
There are 100 senators, you need 50 + VP, or 51 to be in control. Senators are sworn in on Jan 3, so at a minimum, the dems (50 + vp) are in control until then. If Laxalt wins, and Walker wins the runoff, Jan 3rd is when GOP takes control.
yes, as she had oversight of the 2020 election steal.
Clear conflict of interest having authority over voting when you are a candidate.
Joseph Stalin - “It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”
I think the sites that say 49 R, 48 D, are counting Alaska as an R, whether it’s Tshibaka or Murky.
The remaining three are AZ, NV, and GA. We need 2/3 of those.
Laxalt in NV looks good.
Masters in AZ is down like 95k votes, but Charlie Kirk says he will likely win (?).
GA is probably up for sale to the highest bidder.

The Treasurer’s and a couple of other statewide offices are non-partisan. So the incumbent usually wins easily.
That won’t be for long the outstanding votes are Lakes…Charlie Kirk thinks she wins by anywhere from 150 to 220 thousand votes
what happens when the counters go home tonight and the lights go out???? You know?? - around 3AM??
” I do not think that is possible.”
As seen after the 2020 steal, they do not care what seems impossible.
What will anyone do?
Just the way Kemp and Ratburger want it.
Of course Hobbs "lead" is widening. It is heartbreaking to see everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, saying that "of course Kari will win."
Do people not remember 2020? They will do anything to defeat Kari Lake. No fraud is unthinkable. They simply cannot permit her to win, and allow her to work with the new GOP AG to turn over all the rocks with flashlights. They do not care what they have to do to stop her.
"These men will stop at nothing...
Don’t forget the two “Independents” who cauc-ass with the democrats.
Burnie Sanders and Anus King of Maine.
So that is de facto 50 dems.
