New ballot dumps in Pima County and Maricopa County show Democrats’ leads increasing as Democratic early votes finish tabulation.
Only 70% of the votes have been counted two days after the election! If Florida, a state with millions more voters, can count 99% of the ballots on election night, why can’t Arizona?
The Pima County ballot dump of 13,529 votes happened at 6 pm, took Abe Hamadeh out of the lead by 47 votes, and increased the deficit between Katie Hobbs and Kari Lake.
There is a lead change in the AZAG contest. @krismayes now leads @AbrahamHamadeh by 47 votes.

The Maricopa County ballot drop came late and gave Hobbs an even larger lead, but this was expected by many in the early ballot count for Democrats.
Roughly 275,000 early ballots were received on election day, and they are expected to heavily favor Republicans. That is unless they injected massive amounts of fraudulent votes into the system through ballot trafficking or other illegal activity.

Tabulators in Republican districts across Maricopa County were not working when the polls opened at 6 am, and voters were being told to place their ballots in a separate bin to be counted later on.
Voters were stuck waiting several hours in several Republican districts due to Katie Hobbs’ incompetence and malfeasance.

The County still needs to process another 17,000 votes from “box 3,” the separate bin where ballots were stuffed. These ballots are expected to lean nearly 100% Republican.
Kari Lake and other Trump-Endorsed candidates are still expected to win once these in-person and election day early ballots are counted.
Over 300,000 ballots remain in Maricopa County.
