The Tucson Weekly reports, CD2 Update: McSally Lead Over Barber Cut to 179 Votes:
Republican challenger Martha McSally is now leading Democratic Congressman Ron Barber by just 179 votes in the tight race for Congressional District 2, following Pima County’s tabulation of a batch of provisional ballots.
Pima County Elections officials counted 15 early ballots and 4,889 provisional ballots, according to Pima County spokesman Mark B. Evans, who added that roughly 4,000 provisional ballots remained to be counted.
How many of those provisional ballots are in CD2 is unknown, but in today’s count, about 3,210 of ballots counted today were from CD2 and Barber picked up 162 votes.
The 4,000 ballots will be counted tomorrow. If you were a conditional provisional ballot voter on election day, you have until Wednesday to get yourself down to the County Recorder’s Office with your identification to verify your ballot. Every vote is going to count in this race.
This race is headed for an automatic recount at this point: 200 is the magic number.
Every vote counts in every race, in every election. Specifically, every valid ballot is counted.
