In reply to the discussion: Gabbie Giffords AZ Seat:red on election night but the count is turning blue, blue, blue! (updated #s [View all]sweetloukillbot
(10,814 posts)33. I believe Kirkpatrick has already been called...
I'm pretty positiveBarber will end up winning - this happens every election here - Barber was close over the summer, Gabbie always had close races, but the provisionals and earlies always seem to break Dem.
I don't think Carmona will pull it out - he's still mathematically got a chance, but the remaining ballots have to break 2 or 3 to 1 for him to win. I've got a friend running for state rep in Maricopa who is anxiously watching the results to see if she will get back into the legislature as well.
Crossing my fingers though.
