Katie Hobbs extends her lead over Lake with last batch of votes dropped in Maricopa county

[iluvtennis]

There were a little less than 80,000 votes reported from Marcipoa county about 10 minutes ago (10:05PM EST).

Hobbs leads by 31,097 now.

Kornacki didn't report the actual numbers, but the final votes counts are now:

1. Isn't Maricopa supposed to be conservative? Sounds really hopeful if so

3. Old school conservative,

the repubs there hate the MAGAt's.

4. It's Phoenix. It's a city.

If there's anywhere in AZ there's Libs, it's there and Tuscon.

5. No. Actually Maricopa is one of the bluest county.

But in 2020, these same day drop off ballots went for TFG while it went for democrats in 2018. So republicans were banking on the hope that this batch would favor them. The second that it is more 50/50, MSNBC and CNN called it for Kelly.

2. Hobbs is actually the big winner in today's Maricopa batch.

Kelly has enough of a lead if this batch was more republican friendly but Hobbs doesn't. He was going to win anyways unless this batch was like 70/30. This batch being 55/45 will mean that Hobbs has enough to keep the lead and win.
