The race for Arizona secretary of state tightened Thursday, after Maricopa County released the results of about 130,000 previously uncounted ballots.
Republican businessman Steve Gaynor has held a lead over Democrat Katie Hobbs since Tuesday, but the lead dropped by more than half with the new Maricopa County ballots and additional ballots from Pima County.
He was up by about 44,000 votes earlier Thursday, but Hobbs cut that to about 20,500. There are about 460,000 uncounted ballots, according to an analysis by The Arizona Republic. About 350,000 of those are in Maricopa County.
