UPDATE | McSally Sinema Race Could Take ‘Days To Decide’...
KGUN Arizona ^

Posted on 11/07/2018 11:51:26 AM PST by Based Newsman

PHOENIX – For Democrat Kyrsten Sinema and Republican Martha McSally, Tuesday night was supposed to mark the end of a hard-fought battle that tested vastly different visions for the nation.

But as Election Day came to an end, the race for Arizona's open U.S. Senate seat ended exactly how it has played out over the past few weeks: too close to call with unofficial statewide results Wednesday morning at 49 percent for McSally, 48 percent for Sinema and 2 percent for Angela Green, the Green Party candidate.

An official victor may not be known for days – and maybe longer if the final tally triggers a recount or legal challenge, experts said. As Tuesday night ticked toward Wednesday morning, the lack of an outcome began to settle in.

This is crazy. With 99% reporting it will take days????

Heard the Reps may file a lawsuit due to weekend voting or some such thing?

The Democrats will find boxes of uncounted ballots. It has worked before.

What a joke. The early votes should have already had a quick process set up to log them in as received and then report them.

If you can get live stuff that night what prevents you from summarizing things you have had for days .

Something smells/feels fishy

Up to 100,000 outstanding ballots in Pima County and many more than that to be counted in Maricopa.

I truly thought the counting was nearly done... silly me.

OK.. +2 for the GOP in the Senate.

“The Democrats will find boxes of uncounted ballots”

They’re being printed up in Nogales, Sonora as we speak

The reason is a million people request mail in ballots, then drop them off at the polling place instead of mailing them in.

This is also where there is a huge security hole in Arizona Elections. The mail in ballots are (for reasons unknown) placed in an unlocked box with a plastic seal at the polling place.

At the end of the night the seal is broken, they are taken out and counted, then put into a plastic bag to be sent in with other materials. The poll workers are supposed to be from different parties but anyone can register as whatever they want. So a polling place can be all of one like mind. They also have a book of the people in their district which tells them the party.

So a polling place of like minded workers could take say, 100 absentee ballots, compare the names to the poll book and throw away the ballots with names registered to the opposite party.

Considering the counties involved, my prediction is a final tally of Sinema +5%.

The fix is in.

I thought the same thing. She is ahead by 1 point and the tally of votes is almost complete. 99%

Suspicious bias.

Rush mentioned that tens of thousands of uncounted ballots were “found” in Arizona this morning.

The Republicans had better step up and stop this madness.

Soros spent too much money on Sinema to give up that easily.

Wonder how many newly registered Dem. voters from CA. or just newly registered voters for both parties? CA. folks moving out of California into Arizona, Texas...bringing their crazy socialist problems with them.

This is what we get when a RAT was elected a few years ago to replace a Republican MCPA County Recorder.

I suspected there was a problem because the number of votes counted so far is too small considering the number of registered voters. Most states had turnput over 80% of the 2016 turnout and so far Arizona is much lower.
I’m not hopeful.

Keep watching... they'll dump a sudden 10,000-vote deficit on her, as was done to Scott Walker last night.
