Another benefit of winning Arizona: no chance of a recount there - link

https://www.abc15.com/news/election-2020/arizona-secretary-of-state-we-wont-need-to-recount-presidential-results

PHOENIX — As the margin between Joe Biden and President Trump tightens in the Arizona presidential election race, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs ruled out the possibility there will be a recount.

Under Arizona law, an election has to be decided by 200 votes or less, or one-tenth of one percent of the votes cast, whichever is the smaller number. No one is predicting either candidate will lose by 200 votes or less.

That is a mathematically very small chance of a recount.

Plus, the experts' analysis of the data shows no chance Trump will gain 16k votes from the remaining ballots which are almost all in Dem-friendly areas.

And if there was no chance of Trump catching up per 'experts' this race would be called.

Not a big deal, but it's not 'no chance'.

Edit: No picking on you, I'm picking on the poorly written article.
