Is anybody here from Arizona to give us some insight on the Senate race?

It is yet to be determined.

As of 7:37 a.m., November 11:

Democratic candidates in Arizona slightly continued to expand their leads over Republicans late Thursday. But with small batches of votes also trickling in from rural counties, the statewide races are still projected to be close and hundreds of thousands of ballots remain uncounted.​

​

A late night drop of just over 78,000 votes from Maricopa County -- comprised of early ballots dropped off in the days before Election Day -- were favorable to Democrats. However, Republicans predict the roughly 260,000 outstanding Election Day "late earlies" and the 17,000 "Box #3" ballots will favor them.​

​

Here’s where Arizona's races currently stand.​

​

Senate: Democratic incumbent Mark Kelly continues to lead Republican challenger Blake Masters, now by about 115,000 votes, with 80% of the expected vote in. The race is 52%-46%.​

​

Governor: Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs netted an additional 7,494 votes and is leading Republican candidate Kari Lake at 51-49%, with 79% of the expected vote in. Both have reached over a million votes, but Hobbs leads Lake by nearly 27,000.​

​

Secretary of State: Democratic candidate Adrian Fontes continues to grow his lead over Republican candidate Mark Finchem, 53%-47%, leading by about 109,000 votes, with 78% of expected vote in.​

​

Attorney general: Democratic candidate Kris Mayes and Republican candidate Abe Hamadeh are still statically tied at 50%, but in terms of vote count, Mayes is leading by about 16,000 votes.​

​

There are just under an estimated 500,000 outstanding ballots in Arizona, including more than 100,000 ballots in Pima County and 330,000 in Maricopa County.​

​

Maricopa County officials will have another ballot drop Friday evening, along with a press conference at some point in the day. They expect to continue counting votes through the weekend because a record number of "late early" ballots dropped off on Election Day are going through the signature verification process.​
