Apparently Andrew Thomas has reconsidered and is not conceding, being only 485 votes behind Horne, with 20,000 votes still to be counted. Stay tuned for the next tally.

Duke Schechter was introduced at the GOP unity rally as running in LD 27 State Senate, but his name is not on the Secretary of State’s official candidate list. So perhaps he is running as a write-in candidate. Anyone know?

Yes, Joe, in these legislative districts, the vote margins are staying much the same but you still can’t be absolutely sure who the winner(s) are till all the votes are counted. AG candidate Rotellini’s lead increased from 300 plus votes to 3000 plus votes, thus Lujan conceded last night.

\Results staying about the same though.\ Thats always amazing to me, watching over 100k votes being tallied and and the lead might vary 100-200 votes during the counting. Pretty much right down the middle….

The Sec. of State just stated on KJLL radio that the AG race is still too close to call, with 71,000 votes left to count by Maricopa County. They hope to finish by tomorrow or Saturday. Although the SOS website indicated last night that Pima County results were completely in (which I personally doubted), more returns just came in for the LD 27 and 28 races at 4 p.m. today. Results staying about the same though.

So Pima co is 100% in?

Early and provisional ballots both?

Thanks

UPDATE: Wed. 5:13 p.m. Horne still ahead by 454 votes, Rotellini by 1375 votes. Pima County did report some vote counts in LD 26, 27 and 28, but no changes in who’s leading.
Stay tuned and check the Sec. of State’s website for further updates tomorrow.

Thanks Fraser007. Still waiting for results on the AG race (both parties), and perhaps a change in LD 27 or LD 28, with those provisional ballots still being counted. I’m sure 3 Sonorans is very disappointed by candidate Parraz’s loss, but that’s politics.

Good coverage Carolyn! Good journalism. Maybe the “Three Sonorans” could learn from you. But he is quiet today.

It’s elections like this one, and a famous one in Fl, that I always point out to folks that seem to think that their vote does not mean anything.

They are just lazy.. 8^)
