Or what they said was Late mail in ballets or drop offs favor Trump. Arizona is absolutely NOT a lock at this point.

I remember the race between Simena and McSally.

McSally was declared the winner...about a week or so later, Simena pulled ahead..

Glad Simena won, but I don't think I can bear this for another week...What about Kelly?? Ugh...

From blue counties and the walk-in ballots will likely lean blue.

Biden's own camp feels pretty sure about AZ.

of the residents of the state. It can’t possibly be homogeneous, especially since it had only become purple lately. That means parts are red and parts are bluish.

It was a mistake to say “ Maricopa went blue this time, therefore most votes from Maricopa will be Biden votes”. Some precincts ( a political division we no long hear about or pay much attention to) will still be very red. The NYT apparently had enough info to know which precincts were still outstanding, or the common sense to realize they just didn’t know and held off declaring.

It may still turn out alright, or it may not. We don’t have enough info to know. That degree of granularity is not shown on TV, or even in what passes for a local newspaper in this era. Unless we go downtown to party headquarters - and we’re not hearing from them- we must rely on our news media.
