In reply to the discussion: Sinema remains in the lead. [View all]SaschaHM
(2,897 posts)47. Maricopa went for Flake & McCain for Senate and McCain, Romney, and Trump.
It may be changing demographically, but this is the first election in 10 years that a Democrat is leading in the county. Calling it a Dem stronghold is a bit premature and a stretch. Sinema's ahead now, which portends well for her since Dems haven't won this county in 10 years, but there is still a Republican registration advantage and they were also ahead a bit on EVs. Right now we need to have our fingers crossed that the remaining EVs have the same margin, which would mean that Sinema is winning crossovers and indies, and not that there is some sort of last minute McSally surge.
