With the latest update from Maricopa County, Hobbs also extends her lead over Lake to 31,097 votes (51 percent to 49 percent) in Arizona’s governor race. Crucially, tonight’s batch was roughly as good for her as last night’s, despite containing absentee ballots dropped off on Election Day (as opposed to the weekend before), which Republicans had hoped would be better for them. This race might lean toward Hobbs now, though local ABC reporter Garrett Archer warns that there are still GOP-friendly batches left to count.
