  1. Congresswoman Sinema ahead now by 20,102 votes over McSally, and Kathy Hoffman leading by 31,809 votes, a larger margin than yesterday’s for both races. Big change: Sandra Kennedy now leading Rodney Glassman in Corporation Commission 2nd seat by 1602 votes. No update from Pima County Elections today for PCC Bd. District 5.
    Wow, stay tuned till all this counting is done.

  2. Once again we demonstrate that Arizona is neither evolving into a politically mature state, nor that we have any well-founded notions of in what way we might attract venture capital. 2018, & still a backwater province.

  3. Pima County Elections is reporting that approx. 80,000 ballots still to be counted, starting tomorrow.
    “Early Ballots: 59,459

    Provisional Ballots: 18,164
    In recent past elections, between 80% to 90% of provisional ballots have been counted. We expect that trend to continue with this election.

    Conditional Ballots: 209

    Ballots in need of Duplication: 7,239”

    Stay tuned for updates, regarding the close races (i.e. PCC Board District 5).

  4. Looks like McSally is going to win. She’s ahead now with 99 percent reporting.

    I will refrain from writing what I’m thinking.

    Suffice it to say that only in a RED STATE like Arizona, a state where most of the electorate revels in being the shithole of the southwest, could someone like McSally be elected to the Senate.

    So, enjoy it, Arizona. Just keep f***ing yourself.

    • Yes, Congresswoman McSally is now ahead almost 16,000 votes, with the lead increasing since last night. Stay tuned for final tally once the provisional ballots are counted this week.

    • After today’s tabulation of votes, Sinema is now ahead of McSally by 9610 votes, but stay tuned for tomorrow’s counting.
      Democrat Kathy Hoffman has slipped into the winning category (for now) for Supe of Public Instruction, leading Republican Frank Riggs by 20,348.
      This will be an up and down week, till final results are posted.

      • Yeah, Carolyn, when I wrote that comment on Wednesday at 6:53 AM I didn’t know about the 600K ballots left to count statewide.

        One thing we’re learning from this election, nationwide, is that we need to overhaul how we vote. What is happening in Georgia is nothing but GOP corruption on an massive scale, done in broad daylight as though they just simply don’t care. Catch us if you can. And Florida isn’t too far behind, but the worst problems seem to be more concentrated in certain places like Broward County. Broward is just north of Dade County in southern FL, heavily Democratic and also the location of the Parkland shooting. Great place to steal an election if you’re the GOP.

        Greg Palast has got his work cut out for him for awhile, digging up all the GOP election shenanigans.

        But if Sinema ends up winning, and I pray she does, Arizona will have dodged a bullet. And who knows? Maybe it will be better for Arizona Democrats in 2020.

        • None of us knew how many uncounted ballots there were on Tues. night or Wed. morning. Sigh. AZ needs to cut off the deadline for early ballots a lot earlier as the State of Hawaii does for their early ballots. We won’t know who actually won these close races till early next week, so it takes a week of waiting for the final unofficial results from elections in Arizona.

    • You bet Lee. Republican Riggs still winning for Superintendent of Public Instruction and recount only mandated if difference is within 200 votes, statewide. Democrats have won back CD 2 seat with former Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick. Incumbents Todd Clodfelter (R) in LD 10 appears to have lost, along with Toni Hellon (R) Clerk of the Superior Court, as well as TUSD Bd. member Michael Hicks. There will be a new Bd. member on TUSD – educator Leila Counts. PCC District 5 race too close to call between Luis Gonzales and Debi Chess Mabie, as provisional ballots to be counted this week.
