The remaining ballots are people who walked in their mail in ballots.
Those ballots will need to be accepted as all mail in ballots have to be and then counted.
At my last canvassing half of the remaining Democratic voters on my list didn't mail it in because they a) they didn't want to risk posting past the 31st b) highly motivated to make sure their vote counted.
All 55 field operators are remaining in place and are contracted to stay until after the recount.

The race for Arizonas Senate seat wont be determined until the remaining uncounted ballots get factored in.
Trucks filled with data packs were still arriving at the Maricopa County Recorders Office, spokesman Murphy Hebert told CNN. Almost 1 million votes were still outstanding as of early Wednesday, secretary of state Garrett Archer said, only half of which were going to get counted by the end of Election Day. The winner likely wont be announced until later this week.
The counties receive hundreds of thousands of early ballots at their polling places, Matthew Roberts, director of communications at the Arizona Secretary of States office, told The Hill. They are still transporting polling place votes to the counties themselves so theres quite a bit of ballots that have not been tabulated yet.

I do not think this is over yet. McSally up ~16K thousand votes. Sinema is leading is Maricopa county 49.4-48.6.
Does she still have a decent shot to win this? 500 thousand votes still outstanding!

(10,500 posts)If 550,000 of these votes got turned in, and Sinema won them by 10 points, then that will give her another 55,000 votes, more than enough to win.

(53,061 posts)And that would be greater than 10% split, but we have to wait and see

(53,061 posts)On my last Canvassing all of the Dems remaining on the "strike off" list had either mailed it in or knew that they were too close and had to walk it in. They were all on it.

(135 posts)I am assuming you do based on your posts. I know it will probably be conjecture on your part, but do you think based on the info that we know of the votes still out, does Sinema still a decent shot to win this?
grantcart
(53,061 posts)Based on the availabile information we should be slightly favored
grantcart
(53,061 posts)Or mailed it the week before.
The reason is that they have to be postmarked by the 31st or they don't count
I was surprised how well informed they were.
A lot of people couldn't remember our Congressional candidate but they knew they had to walk it in
