According to election officials in Maricopa County, Arizona, the crucial county will report its next vote update at 8 p.m. local time (10 p.m. Eastern). If that’s your idea of a hot Friday night, check back with us then. If, on the other hand, you have a life, here’s a roundup of things as they stand on Friday afternoon:
Senate
- In Arizona, Kelly leads Masters 52 percent to 46 percent (a margin of 115,073 votes). As we wrote earlier, this race looks very good for Democrats.
- In Nevada, Laxalt leads Cortez Masto 49 percent to 48 percent (a margin of 8,988 votes). Cortez Masto should take the lead here as more mail ballots are counted. If Democrats win both Arizona and Nevada, they will retain control of the Senate regardless of what happens in Georgia’s Dec. 6 runoff.
- In Alaska, Tshibaka has 44 percent of first-place votes and Murkowski has 43 percent. We’re expecting vote updates on Nov. 15 and Nov. 18, and then ranked-choice tabulations will determine the winner on Nov. 23.
