are they gonna do a recount? Doesn't seem close enough mucifer Nov 2020 #7

AZ doesn't do recounts unless the difference is several hundreds ballots. LisaL Nov 2020 #8

Yeah 50/50 not enough for dumpy. Every time him misses the threshold it makes it higher. Statistical Nov 2020 #10

Heading to 75/25. Never gonna happen. n/t CincyDem Nov 2020 #15

That vote dump was from Pima County oswaldactedalone Nov 2020 #12

We will know much more after the Maricopa dump tonite. triron Nov 2020 #13

50/50 from Pima County is not very encouraging. marybourg Nov 2020 #14

It's fine all the dumps the last few days have favored Trump mr_lebowski Nov 2020 #16

Thanx. Appreciate the reassurance. marybourg Nov 2020 #17

Good news Eliot. K&R Demsrule86 Nov 2020 #28

TY! Cha Nov 2020 #29

Thanks for keeping us up to date on AZ!!!!!!!!!!! nt USALiberal Nov 2020 #32

Let's not assume. These recounts across states could get 45 into a hail mary position. ancianita Nov 2020 #33

Arizona does not do recounts unless the margin in very tiny. GulfCoast66 Nov 2020 #35

Well that's true of any of the battlegrounds, right? ancianita Nov 2020 #41

Nope. LisaL Nov 2020 #50

Good to know. I'm relieved that 200 is the threshold. Thank you. ancianita Nov 2020 #52

It's over...it really is...and that is ME saying it... Eliot Rosewater Nov 2020 #36

Haha love ya. Sorry, not even you can convince me with 33 days out 'til the certification deadline. ancianita Nov 2020 #39

Because Nevada went for Biden ... aggiesal Nov 2020 #40

By my count, he needs only AZ, GA, MI and WI. PA's totally out by law. ancianita Nov 2020 #42

Excellent news from the Maricopa vote dump oswaldactedalone Nov 2020 #45

Yep Eliot Rosewater Nov 2020 #47

Right now Biden has dropped from 12,828 yesterday to 11,635 today. ancianita Nov 2020 #46

No he's got this, there's a reason they called it Way back when Eliot Rosewater Nov 2020 #48

As long as "he's got this" doesn't put him in the recount zone. That's all I want. ancianita Nov 2020 #49

Arizona only recounts in the few hundreds as a margin greenjar_01 Nov 2020 #51

GA didn't have to recount the race. LisaL Nov 2020 #53

That is one reason I am sure IsItJustMe Nov 2020 #56

Great. I'm feeling better about AZ. ancianita Nov 2020 #54

CNN hasn't called AZ for Biden though today a couple of outlets did Catherine Vincent Nov 2020 #55
