The Associated Press called Arizona for Joe Biden early Wednesday morning, which is why organizations like NPR that rely on the AP for election calls show the Democratic nominee with a larger lead over President Trump. Fox News has also called Arizona for Biden, but other news organizations have not.

On Thursday, the AP explained its call this way: “The AP called the race in Arizona for Biden at 2:50 a.m. EST Wednesday after an analysis of ballots cast statewide concluded Trump could not catch up in the ballots left to be counted.”

The Trump campaign continues to question the call, though. With 88% of the expected vote now tallied in the state as of Thursday morning, Biden’s lead in the state has shrunk to just over 68,000. (The Trump campaign more broadly is launching a series of legal challenges to dispute results in various places, based on unsupported allegations of fraud and irregularities in the election.)

The AP has not said it will reverse the call. In a statement Thursday, executive editor Sally Buzbee said, “The Associated Press continues to watch and analyze vote count results from Arizona as they come in. We will follow the facts in all cases.”

1. With good reason! The ballots left to count are coming from the same area that elected Sinema in 18

2. AZ still makes me nervous.

Fox said they're standing by their call too.

7. Well, that explains why Al Jazeera shows Joe with 264 EVs while the NYT still shows 253.

So what color is tRUMP's face today?

8. I think that they both

made the correct call, based on what I'm seeing and hearing.

Here's the AZ SoS site: https://results.arizona.vote/#/featured/18/0

Based on my counts, Covidiot would have to win every uncounted ballot to win the state.

It's not a rout of Covidiot by any means, but it's a respectable lead for Biden in the circumstances.
