PHOENIX—Arizona elections officials continued chipping away at a mountain of uncounted ballots, but a week after the election more than 324,000 uncounted ballots remained, leaving final results up in the air and prompting protests from the Latino community.

At least one high-profile contest remains in the balance: the closely watched congressional race between incumbent Democrat Ron Barber—the chosen successor to former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords—and Republican Martha McSally. As of Tuesday evening, 829 votes separated the candidates, with Mr. Barber ahead.

Many candidates with large leads—such as Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Flake and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio—have declared victory while their opponents conceded.

But state election officials cautioned that with so many uncounted ballots they couldn't confirm the outcome of any races. The state plans to release its official results Dec. 3,....

Arizona, We Have a Problem: Hundreds of Thousands of Votes Remain Uncounted

Voter suppression efforts across the country made headlines prior to the election. More than a week later, Arizona may be showing itself as the poster child and prototype of the impact of disenfranchisement.

By most accounts, the race for Maricopa County Sheriff in Arizona was a slam dunk for incumbent Joe Arpaio despite massive voter registration and get out the vote efforts aimed at ousting the notorious lawman. Rachel Torres, a researcher with UNITE HERE! in Phoenix, told Politic365 via phone interview that the young people she works with registered about 30,000 people. Organizers now are pushing back in the Grand Canyon State, advocating for people they helped get to polls but whose votes may be among the hundreds of thousands of uncounted ballots.

Provisional ballots seem be at the crux of what some are saying is voter suppression .......

6. get to work arizona

Let's go Arizona. You better get to work and finish counting those ballots.

7. 177,519 Provisional ballots, if not counted, is enough to swing any election.

I hope these people turn up to get their vote counted, but i have a feeling the majority wont, now that the President has won.

How could the number of provisional ballots be so high? It sounds like voter fraud through the back door.

8. Part of the Republican War on Voting is suppression of voters at the polls, esp. the ID part

So they force everyone they can to vote provisional and thereby, lacking proper ID at the polling place, force them to go to the county courthouse or not be counted

[Mr. Sparkle]

10. Is there any estimate on the amount of ballots, that will be discarded at the end of the day?

i am sure the campaigns are looking at this closely as there is still tight races going on.

[Coyotl]

11. I have yet to find that data. Perhaps too soon still to know.
