In Arizona’s 1st District, incumbent GOP Rep. David Schweikert leads insurance company founder Elijah Norton 44 percent to 34 percent, with 77 percent of the expected vote already reporting. Norton went after Schweikert for his various ethics scandals, including a fine by the FEC for campaign violations and ethics violations handed down by the House Ethics Committee.
