Sounds more and more like Arizona is going to go the way Trump needs it to.
Keep in mind, theyâre still counting but this sounds promising:
âGood Progress For The Presidentâ: Trump âIn Lineâ To Overtake Biden In Arizona, Data Firm Says https://t.co/HPTgDzejnd pic.twitter.com/cX9yAwIhOF

And Trump needs AZ.
From The Daily Wire:
Garrett Archer, a data journalist for ABC 15 Arizona, backed up Data Orbitalâs read of the data, saying that the fresh data puts Trump on track to overtake Bidenâs lead, though narrowly. Arizona is still either sideâs state to take, he noted.
âWhile on the surface good, this drop is a âtread waterâ for what Trump would need to flip the state. As we get closer to the end, the ballots get less friendly (ballot drop off uni will have a lot more Independents in them),â Archer noted after the latest drop of data early Thursday morning.
âTrump now needs 68,390 to catch Biden. There are approximately 430k or so ballots left in the state,â Archer said, providing a rough overview of the state of Arizonaâs outstanding ballot count.
Just count the freakinâ votes already.
Heh.
Also from AZ Central:
As Maricopa County released the results from 140,000 more ballots on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, President Donald Trump received almost the exact share he would need to charge back to win Arizonaâs 11 electoral votes and potentially reelection.
Trump won the batches of ballots from Maricopa County counted Wednesday and early Thursday by a roughly 57-40 margin over former Vice President Joe Biden.
Those votes â likely early ballots sent to the county on Monday and Tuesday â narrowed Bidenâs lead over Trump in Arizona to 68,000 votes, when his lead had been more than 90,000 votes earlier Wednesday.
Paul Bentz, a Republican pollster with the consulting firm HighGround, said Trump needs to win 57.6% of the 470,000 votes that The Arizona Republic estimates remain to be counted.
âThatâs almost exactly what he got in the first batch,â Bentz said. âHe could do it.â
Eat your Wheaties, folks, this thing is still going.
