Recount in Arizona attorney general race set for Dec. 5

[RandySF]

PHOENIX -- Democrat Kris Mayes increased her lead slightly over Abe Hamadeh in the race for Arizona attorney general. With nearly 2.59 million ballots tabulated as of Friday evening, Mayes now has 1,252,882 votes. That is 570 more than the Republican contender.

State officials estimate there are only about 6,100 votes left to count. Virtually all of those are in Maricopa County, with just a handful in Apache County.

No matter what happens now, that race will not be finalized until next month.

There is no way one or the other can get more than 12,500 votes ahead of the other, the 0.5% margin necessary to avoid a mandatory recount. And that recount cannot take place until after the votes are formally canvassed on Dec. 5.
All other statewide races and ballot measures already have been decided.

1. Maricopa county

I'll admit not knowing everything, but most of those votes should be for the Democrat. Never in my life did I imagine Arizona going Blue

2. Shocking isn't it? Then again ppl are just tired of the KKKrazy

What the RWnuts pulled in 2020 i'm sure has thr good ppl of AZ dismayed and repelled. 2022 is a resounding rejection of that. Let them recount the AG's race, the lead is so high it's insurmountable
