"SNIP....

Kyrsten Sinema (D) expanded her narrow lead in Arizona’s U.S. Senate on Saturday with gains in Maricopa and Pima counties erasing smaller losses to Martha McSally (R) elsewhere around the state, th Arizona Republic reports.

Sinema’s lead grew to 29,832 votes and gave her a 1.4 percentage point advantage.

While McSally’s vote deficit grew, Republicans took aim at the election process. In a statement Saturday, the National Republican Senatorial Committee attacked Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, saying he “has been using his position to cook the books for Kyrsten Sinema.”

with her constant lies about how she would protect pre-existing conditions when she voted to repeal those protections, saying it was kicking her ass, and then in the final week she lied to a constituent who asked her about it and then pushed her out of the way. Just as an outside observer, she was an awful candidate and not a believable liar. Sad.

I lurk there quite a bit and while of them are claiming election fraud in Arizona, a good number seemed resigned to the fact Sinema is the likely winner and a big reason McSally will probably lose is that she was a terrible candidate.

in races that they won? LOL. Strange how they always think it's fixed in races that are close or that they're behind.

I was blown away when the networks called it for McSally.
Sen. Sinema has a great ring.
