More than 600,000 ballots in Arizona still uncounted

Individuals who had insufficient identification when they went to vote at a polling place were allowed to cast a conditional provisional ballot. They have until Nov. 13 to return to their county elections office with proper identification.
In some cases, close elections might not be decided for several days, or even a week. Pima County wont even begin counting provisional ballots until Monday, according to The Arizona Republic.
In many counties, a portion of the ballots that arrived before Election Day werent counted before the polls opened. Some couldnt be counted in time, while others needed to be reprocessed because of overvotes, which occur when voters cast votes for too many candidates in a given race.
Early ballots that were dropped off at polling places have yet to be counted in many counties because voters signatures need to be verified.

If you want your state wide office (senate) vote to count it should be all of Arizona.
