4. I just saw it on CNN.

I'm off to bed and don't have a link, though.

5. NY Times has it too.

6. Garrett Archer has it as well

The Q-Bots are out in force downplaying it.

16. That story...

...indicates there are more than 500,000 votes left to be counted. I don't know how correct that is. I believe there are at least 300,000 votes still to be counted, most from Maricopa. This is going to take a while.

17. It sure is, but I expect the statewide Dem candidates to continue to increase their leads 🙂

79% expected votes in
(Est. remaining 538,326)

9. Lake needs the outstanding ballots to break 55/45

To squeak out a win.

Masters needs them to break 70/30. That doesn’t seem possible and I think this should be called.

Sadly Lake still has a chance, but one more big blue drop from Maricopa should seal it for Hobbs.

11. I'm feeling pretty comfortable with Hobbs.

Kirsten Engel is running about 5300 votes behind in House 6 😢

10. So when will Kari Lake call in the Cyber Ninjas?

A 'forensic' recount is called for in case she loses.
Of course, if she wins...?
No problem!

[MLAA]

13. I think she will need to call ghostbusters because those cyber ninjas are probably bankrupt by now!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

15. HA!

Good one!

[SheltieLover]

14. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

Ty!

18. Time for Lindsey Graham to get on the phone to Doug Ducey.

Wasn't it reported that Republicans were preparing for another "Brook Brothers Riot" in Arizona if things didn't go their way?

[MLAA]

19. I think the zoom call for Meadows Graham and Ducey is scheduled for later this morning.

20. The trolls were all aflutter about Kari Lake winning--

just a couple days ago.

22. Maricopa County

What doesn't seem to be getting much attention is that Maricopa County went solidly blue this cycle. The bulk of the votes left are from there. And the pundits seem to not be sure if the same day drop offs will skew red or blue. Given that it's a blue county this cycle, there's little reason to think it's not going to help both Hobbs and Kelly.

And as I've stated, Republicans were all in on in person voting this cycle. They even stood guard at drop boxes with semi automatic assault rifles. If people think Republicans voted via same day drop boxes I think they're very wrong. And this seems to get no acknowledgement in the media, Reps told their voters to only vote in person all across the country all cycle.
