Sinema widens lead over McSally in Arizona Senate race
By Chris Mills Rodrigo - 11/09/18 07:03 PM EST

Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D) widened her lead over Rep. Martha McSally (R) in the heated Arizona Senate race after a new round of ballots were tallied in the Democrat's favor late Friday.

Sinema more than doubled her lead over McSally with Friday evening's latest tranche of results. The Democrat now leads her GOP challenger by more than votes.

Sinema, earlier Friday, McSally by just 9,163 votes out of nearly two million cast — a 0.48 percentage point lead. She now leads her opponent by just over 1 percentage point.

The vast majority of the votes tallied Friday came from Maricopa County, the state's largest, where there were an estimated 345,000 uncounted votes prior to Friday's evenings results.

Results from Maricopa were closely divided, with Sinema holding just a 2.5 percentage point lead over McSally on Thursday night.

Before Friday's release, Pima County had the next-largest chunk of uncounted ballots. The county, which houses the more left-leaning Tuscon, had 80,000 uncounted ballots. Sinema led there by 13 percentage points as of Friday afternoon.

The largest pool of votes likely to favor McSally come from Pinal County, where an estimated 30,000 votes remain untallied. McSally, on Friday, led Sinema by 14 percentage points in the county.

Friday's wave of results came the same day a settlement was reached in a Phoenix courtroom that permits rural voters to have extra time to fix issues with their ballots, according to The Associated Press.

The settlement is a compromise in response to a Republican lawsuit that sought to stop urban voters from making those changes on the ballots.

Republicans alleged that some county recorders weren’t using a uniform procedure to make changes to mail-in ballots, specifically claiming that Maricopa and Pima counties improperly gave up to five days after Tuesday's election to make those changes.

Counties will now have a deadline of Nov. 14 to make those fixes to problematic mail-in ballots.

-- Lisa Hagen and Reid Wilson contributed reporting.

The big problem is the Left makes life Hell for good people who do want to run for office, so we're left with mediocre candidates that really don't excite anyone.

The "Enthusiasm Gap" is crucial in elections,  they had it, we didn't.  And Trump really didn't have that much to do with it.

Sinema is no Jeff Flake.  But it will make the Never Trumpers here at TBR happy that the seat went Rat.

McSally was unreliable, especially on immigration.


The Arizona congresswoman took to the House floor last week to ask unanimous consent to remove her name from a bill that would provide legal status and an eventual path to citizenship to some children of undocumented immigrants. Until then, McSally was one of 34 Republicans to co-sponsor the Recognizing America's Children Act, seen as a new and conservative version of the DREAM Act. The only Democrat to sponsor the bill is fellow Arizona Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, whom McSally hopes to take on in the fall in the race to succeed Republican Sen. Jeff Flake.

Yes and that’s why some people are inclined to vote for neither.  It can make a difference in a close election.

I don't think they did (this is simply another case of phantom ballots always benefiting the 'rats), but given their record with Flake and McCain, it's plausible.

The MSM will be eating this up.  Her jiggling her "DD"'s on the Sunday talk shows?  Ratings Gold.

Let's face facts.....    The dims have contingency plans in place to cheat in close elections.  GOP?  Deer in headlight looks.
