Not a "red wave", though the "fraud" bleats will start soon

Tweets, I mean tweets. :)

Caveat: Since 2020, late votes tend to skew Republican, so the outcome of some of these races could flip.

From the AZ Secretary of State's website -

In the race for U.S. Senate, incumbent Mark Kelly looks to be comfortably ahead of Peter Thiel Blake Masters.  While the margin could shrink, I'll be really surprised if this one flips.





Too close to call:

CD1, where newby Jevin Hodge is leading embattled incumbent David Schweikert.

CD6, where Republican Juan Ciscomani is leading Democrat Kirsten Engel.






The other CDs went as expected, except in CD2, where Republican Eli Crane looks to be upsetting incumbent Democrat Tom O'Halleran.  Only time will tell if Crane will become AZ's version of Madison Cawthorn.





The top of the ballot state-level races are leaning Democratic at this point; though with one exception, all could flip (the one exception being Adrian Fontes leading Mark Finchem for AZ Secretary of State.











Two lower ballot statewide races are trending R.








Yee over Quezada isn't much of a surprise - Quezada had an uphill battle once Yee dropped out the R primary for governor.

Horne over incumbent Hoffman?  Surprising.  Guess that certain voters prefer corruption to competence.

The biggest disappointment, for me, anyway, was Lauren Kuby and Sandra Kennedy coming up short in the race for two seats on the Arizona Corporation Commission.














I've known Lauren for many years and thought she would have been a spectacular addition to the ACC.
