				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Final unofficial results from <a href="http://results.enr.clarityelections.com/AZ/42050/113200/Web01/en/summary.html">AZ Sec. of State</a> &amp; <a href="http://pima.gov/elections/results1.htm">Pima County Elections Division</a>, for Southern AZ listed below.  It took over 2 weeks to count all the early and provisional ballots cast in the General Election on November 6. Voter turnout statewide was 74.36%, higher at 77.98% in Pima County. The counting apparently took so long because many voters who received early ballots only turned them in on General Election Day, which slowed up the tallying process.</p>

<p>For information/updates on which propositions won statewide &amp; for City of Tucson, click <a href="http://tucsoncitizen.com/community/2012/11/07/2012-arizona-general-election-results-propositions/">here</a>.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for updates, as I will post new figures as they become available &#8212; but only if the results are changed from this initial report, as ballots will be counted slowly day by day. This is the update of the latest returns, but not all precincts have reported statewide. Congratulations to the winners.</p>
