AZ-AG: 'We feel confident': Upbeat Kris Mayes leads by 510 votes as AG race heads to recount
Almost two weeks after Election Day, the results were final in the race for Arizona attorney general after Maricopa County updated the tally with its last ballots. Democrat Kris Mayes led Republican Abe Hamadeh by 510 votes.
The unofficial vote count was final, but the counting wasn't done. With no outstanding ballots remaining, the race will go to a recount next month.
"We knew this race would be close. The polls showed us that. And we know we have a recount ahead," Mayes said in a statement to The Republic. "I know this past week and a half has been very stressful for many people. Thank you to all of our hardworking elections officials, poll workers and volunteers. We appreciate you. I’d like to express my deep gratitude to everyone who supported my campaign. Every vote mattered — and this race is surely a testament to that!
"As we head into this recount with a 510 vote lead, we feel confident that the end result will be the same, and I am very much looking forward to being your Lawyer for the People. I want to say I’m extremely proud of the campaign we ran. We were out there proactively on issues like reproductive rights, consumer fraud and the outrageous Saudi water grab. We will now be patient as we go through this process, and ask that everyone else do the same. Let’s lead with hope and humility versus divisiveness and chaos. I believe we’ve had enough of that. Thank you, Arizona! Onward..."
