Dem Sinema pulls ahead of McSally in Arizona Senate race
Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D) took the lead in Arizonas too-close-to-call Senate race on Thursday night, holding a thin lead of 9,610 votes over Rep. Martha McSally (R).
Sinema holds a 0.5-point lead with votes rolling in, predominantly from Maricopa County, according to new numbers from the Arizona secretary of state's website. Votes were also posted from Pinal and Gila counties as well as Pima County, a Democratic-leaning county thats home to the city Tucson.
The tally marks a shift from McSallys initial 1-point lead as of earlier on Thursday, when the GOP congresswoman was up by 17,073 votes.
An Arizona source told The Hill that the latest numbers came from roughly 150,000 votes from Maricopa County, with another 345,000 outstanding votes still left from that county, which includes the capital of Phoenix, as well as Sinema's own congressional district.
A total of approximately 500,000 votes remain uncounted across the state.
