This editor checked out our own interactive map of midterm races first thing this morning and was terribly saddened to see Arizona colored blue. Katie Hobbs had somehow managed to outrun Kari Lake in the race for governor. However, we’re just hearing from RedState contributor Cameron Arcand that Hobbs’ lead in the state has shrunk to 4,094 votes.
Katie Hobbs's lead over Kari Lake has now shrunk to 4,750 votes.

Correction: 4,094 votes.

60% of Hobbs' lead just disappeared and that's before the massive, likely R+ drop tonight. https://t.co/aBy8TUy5wb

If Lake were a Democrat we’re sure she could find 5,000 votes in the trunks of cars that had been “misplaced.” Are we still waiting on the Maricopa County ballots to be counted? The ones that 20 percent of the voting machines couldn’t read?
But how will masters do?

Do you think it's enough to also put Masters over the top too?

Please@tell me she’s bringing masters with her

Personally, I think he's toast. But we won't know until we see the margins tonight.
— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) November 9, 2022
His gap is way wider. He's gaining, but tonight will give us an idea of if he's dead or not.

Never trust ballots that have been moved to a new location for counting. That's when new ones show up and others get lost.

Could this actually happen?!?

No one benefits from these slow drip drip drip of returns. States need to get better.

There really is no excuse.

Editor’s Note: Republican voters deserve answers and accountability for the failed red wave.
