Adelita Grijalva laps the field in AZ CD7

Note: The final numbers may change as votes are counted but the results won't.

All numbers are from the website of the Arizona Secretary of State.

Grijalva received 33,528 votes. The next closest Democratic candidate was Deja Foxx with 11,463 votes. A total of 54,159 votes in the Democratic primary.

Not only did Grijalva receive well more than half of the votes cast in the D primary, she received more two times votes in the D primary than were cast in the entire R primary - 16,359.

Yes, CD7 is a fairly safe D district. :)

In my previous post, I made three predictions.

It turns out my prognostication abilities are less than stellar. :)

"The winner of the Democratic primary will be the candidate the one with the best ground game."

I don't know; it's not my district.

"The candidates who come in 2nd and 3rd in combination will garner more votes than the actual winner."

Completely wrong.  It wasn't even close.

"One of them will mount a primary challenge in 2026."

It may still happen, but given the results of yesterday's election, it may not.  I do believe she'll face a primary credible primary challenge next year, as most first termers do, regardless of partisan affiliation.
