This Arizonan is feeling very good about Kelly. He has a 5pt lead with approx 200,000 votes left, 87% of which are in 2 blue large counties (Phx area and Tuc area). The Governors race is much closer.

And I think Warnock wins the run-off. Cortez-Masto, I reserve judgement until today's vote drop there.

is hardly blue. Pima County, Tucson, is quite blue, but with a significantly smaller population than Maricopa County. Just over 1 million, compared to 4.47 million.

Maricopa County is why Arizona got Barry Goldwater and later, John McCain.

It will be 49 Dems 50 GOP.

Warnock will have to win the runoff in that case for Dems to have control.

Happily, he's winning the general ... and the Libertarian Candidate who's sucked away over 2% of the votes ... has policies most liberals will agree with, not so many goppers. Also Warnock won in almost that same situation last time (2020), after having TRAILED going into the runoff. This time he's going in ahead. And as an incumbent. And his opponent is a dipshit.
