AZ slips farther away from Rump in latest dump of 5500 ballots

[Dem2]

Rump only gained 146 votes out of that 5500.

He now needs 85% of the remaining ballots to tie.

He's toast.

[SheltieLover]

1. Awesome!

Ty!

[dchill]

2. He's toast. With limburger cheese.

[warmfeet]

24. Toast infected with Covid-19.

How you like those bread crumbs?

Toast infected with stupidity to the power of infinity.

[Stallion]

3. Doubt he Could Get 85% at a Family Reunion

[RockRaven]

6. Doubt he could get 15% at a family reunion...

They hate him too.

[roamer65]

8. He'd whine it was a rigged vote.

[sunonmars]

4. Yeah he basically has to win every single vote left just to break even.

[helpisontheway]

5. Great news but when will they finish counting ? Goodness..nt

[Sneederbunk]

7. FOX and AP vindicated.

What are the others' excuse?

[Lucky Luciano]

10. I wouldn't say they were vindicated.

When they called it, Biden probably had 2:1 odds in his favor. I wouldn’t call something until it’s at least 20:1. They dodged a bullet because reputation us staked on higher confidence than 2:1.

[renate]

12. they're vindicated and I'm THRILLED

Arizona being called for Biden kept Election Night from being a clusterf**k because it made it look like Joe would still win with 270 while everything else was going wrong.

Obviously that was never Fox's or the AP's intention, but it was a LIFESAVER for our nervous systems and, I would suggest, for the final election results being readily accepted by the reality-based community.

AND it's pissed off a ton of the Fox-watching cultists who were loyal to Fox for all those years.

It was a miracle that they called it so early and I'm not really being hyperbolic. Thank god they did.

[Cha]

18. I know exactly what you mean.. I thought so

too.

And that is why the trumps were so "Pissed" at fox.

[My Pet Orangutan]

20. AZ broke Trump's heart on election night.

And Fox delivered the blow.

[Cha]

22. Too Ironic!.. & McCain is

Laughing from Heaven!

[efhmc]

23. Having McCain on Biden's side even without a "visible" presence worked in his favor.

[Cha]

29. Yes & Cindy McCain Endorsing Biden

on the Front Page of the AZ Republic!

Worked Wonders!

[obamanut2012]

36. I know the Navajo Nation REALLY helped Biden

And, I suspect Cindy McCain helped a lot, too. McCain was a favorite son, and Trump was horrible to him.

I remember when Cindy came unexpectedly out for marriage equality a couple years before the SCOTUS decision, and I've always liked her since then.

[Cha]

37. Yes, The Navajo Nation really showed up

for Biden/Harris & I want to give them credit whenever I can.. TY for the reminder, obamanut!

And, thanks for that about Cindy McCain coming out for Marriage Equality when she did. I didn't know that.

[efhmc]

39. Her daughter is a piece of work though.

[triron]

9. What's left to count?

should be ~15000 ballots

I see it's about 16,700 mostly in Maricopa and Pima.

[Vivienne235729]

11. great news! do you know where it was from?

[LisaL]

13. PIMA.

NT

[Vivienne235729]

16. thank you

[Dem2]

14. Pima county

[Vivienne235729]

15. thank you

[Cha]

17. Wow.. I want AZ so badly!

[Dem2]

33. You want it?

You got it!

[Cha]

34. LOL.. I knew that was coming!!

Thank you, Dem2!

[Warpy]

19. What a difference a decade makes

NM used to issue PSAs about not going to AZ without a birth certificate or other valid ID besides a driver's license since they got their knickers in a racist twist over our program of licensing undocumented workers with licenses that were VERY DIFFERENT so we could cut down on the number of uninsured drivers on the roads.

Now they've turned blue. OK, pale powder blue, but I'll certainly take it.

[My Pet Orangutan]

21. AZ broke Trump's heart on election night.

[Warpy]

26. I think they broke a lot of RWNJ hearts

I knew we'd have a few surprises on election night, AZ was a big one. People I know there certainly didn't expect it. Friends in NV were pretty sure it was going blue, as were friends in PA.

I don't expect it to last, but it was good to see so much of the SW turning blue. My evil plan of littering laundromats with copies of MoJo, The Nation and Harper's seems to be working.

[My Pet Orangutan]

27. I dreamt, I actually had a dream seeing

a blue wall extending all the way from Washington to Texas/

I may not be alive to see it (I'm 60) but I believe it is our destiny.

[triron]

25. Surprisingly poor performance in that dump for Biden. Pima is very liberal.

[LisaL]

28. Pima ballots have been breaking about 50-50.

NT

[Vivienne235729]

38. That really surprises me and disappoints me. I am in Pima Co. We need to do better

We have work ahead of us for the next cycle.

[radius777]

31. the late arriving vbm and same days were red leaning

even in blue counties.

[Xolodno]

30. Inside the White House:

"So what you're saying is, there is a chance?!"

[radius777]

32. Decision Desk HQ called it yesterday

Link to tweet

AZ did an audit and found no fraud.

A recount can only occur if a race is within 200 votes or .1 %, whichever is less (Biden is leading by 11k votes and will likely end up winning by about that amount)

Biden will win AZ and it will soon be certified once all the votes (about 16k left) are counted.

[Skittles]

35. STICK A FORK IN IT

yes INDEED
