Sinema now up 1.5 points. Very hard to imagine a McSally comeback at this point.

AZ SEN update, after new Maricopa Co ballot drop: Sinema 1,045,779, McSally 1,017,091. Margin of 1.46 percent. https://t.co/hOXxUrAekS

I know we used to take this for granted, but Ducey, McSally, and Reagan all deserve praise as Republicans acting responsibly in response to a close election. https://t.co/1bWKxkuArl

There is no evidence of "electoral corruption" in Arizona, Mr. President. Thousands of dedicated Arizonans work in a non-partisan fashion every election cycle to ensure that every vote is counted. We appreciate their service. https://t.co/Xtd5Vd0gSu

Just to be clear, what's going on in AZ is completely normal. There are lots of ballots in Republican counties and lots of ballots in Democratic counties left to be counted, and in a state where 60%+ of the vote is mail-in, it takes a while to count. https://t.co/2YoDlc4T0o

This #AZSen seat was last up in 2012. The GOP (@JeffFlake) led by 5.3% morning after the election. Final margin? 3.0%.

No one noticed this shift of a net 2.2% because margin was wide.

AZ is not unusual right now; in fact, the shift this week isn't even as large as 2012's.

I'd say it's unbelievable, but it's all too believable. From the Fox News party to the Infowars party. https://t.co/d55kWgt9yw

AZ Senate might not really be all that close in the end if current trends continue…

There is no evidence of election officials "cooking the books" in Arizona. Such careless language undermines confidence in our democratic institutions. https://t.co/cNjYp0yIa1

Conspiracymongering via FOI: via @brahmresnik, the Arizona Republican Party has filed a freedom of information request for any interactions between the Maricopa County elections office and…George Soros. https://t.co/d8JQIGqUSc
