Estimated 500,000-plus ballots still uncounted in Arizona: ‘Elections do not end on Election Day’

Election Day has come and gone, but the results in Arizona, particularly in the closely watched U.S. Senate race between Ruben Gallego and Kari Lake, are still pending. With over half a million uncounted ballots, officials are working diligently to ensure every vote is accurately tallied. Both candidates are urging volunteers to help “cure” ballots with signature issues to ensure they are counted. While there is frustration over the delay in results, it is not unusual for Arizona to take time to count ballots. The winner of this Senate race will replace Kyrsten Sinema, who opted not to seek re-election in 2024. Regardless of the outcome in Arizona, Donald Trump has already secured a significant Electoral College victory over Kamala Harris in the presidential race.
