The rat vote share for President in AZ has been remarkably stable. It was close cause of Gary Johnson but Hillary didn’t really do that well.
She got 44.58%, which is only slightly better than the 44.45% Obama got in 2012 and less than the 44.91% he got in 2008. Kerry got 44.32%, Gore got 44.67%. Bubba won in 1996 with 46.52%.
GOP outpolled the rats in the primary by 100K plus.
I believe the Senate race is close but I’m skeptical of this weak gubernatorial rat having a real chance.
Inescapable fact: Arizona Rs own 150,000 vote edge in registrations.
There are 1.2m indies, but indies nationally only vote at about a 30% rate (vs. 50% or more for the parties).
That means out of 400,000 voters, Enema has to get about 2:1 just to break even if turnout is the same.
But, of course, turnout was NOT the same: Rs had 140,000 more turn out in the primary over Enema and her Moslem opponent.
