Is Arizona still in play? (elections, state, votes, million)

[ChicagoMeO]

When i got my absentee ballot, it said on there use a pen. I live in Illinois. I wonder if those voting in person had those same instructions given to them.

Something seems off in AZ with a that much of a swing. Other states tended to keep the trend , not swing 8 points I also can't figure out why some of these states have so many problems. Maybe Florida after the 2000 fiasco cleaned up its act. Wish other states could do the same.

Arizona on the other hand has 5/6ths of the vote in with about 500k votes to go.

Biden's lead is 90k.

So for AZ to reverse it would take more of a 60/40 Trump favor on the remaining.

Saying AZ is in play is um....optimistic with a dash of delusional thrown in.

Exactly. ~93K vote lead with 84% reporting currently - not impossible, but definitely improbable.

Surely a convicted felon wouldn't stoop so low? Surely.

I think they're referring to counting late ballots, not those that were on-time.....

Not really, look at the history. New 9th district created after 2010 thanks to population gain during the aughts. Was considered close/swing district when created, but D's have taken it since it was created. Then we finally put Joe "The Fuhrer" Arpaio out to pasture in 2016, ending his 28 year reign of terror. Also, tRump only won our state by 90,000 votes in 2016 (out of over 4 million eligible voters). Then in 2018, the senate race for Flake's seat went D as well.

So this wasn't just a sudden swing

Also going to need to see something independent about how it won't read a sharpie but will read a pen.

Lastly, I need to see actual proven number of impacted ballots.

When you get that for me, I'll have something to work with.

Sharpies work fine.
