Mark kelly, who got 55%. so in the ballots that were counted last night, blake masters not hitting the numbers he would need there. the same thing was true in the south in pima county where there were 13,000 votes counted last night. within that batch, mark kelly, not blake masters, got 67%. so if you re looking at this, and you re mark kelly, you re thinking, oh, that s a good thing. but on the other hand, i ve given you the one hand, the other, now back to both hands here. we just doen t know. the remaining 560,000 votes, what that will look like. in arizona, historically, the later the ballots have arrived, the more republican they have been. we re waiting until tonight to see that batch, what that looks like, to get a sense of what direction this might be headed. but wanted to show you the path for blake masters if it goes a certain way. breaking it down. we ll be watching in the coming
See you in just a second. stick with me. arizona election officials are still counting ballots at this hour with both the senate and governor s races yet to be called. sara sidner there in phoenix for us again this hour. sara, what are you tracking? who are you talking to? what are they telling you? reporter: we are talking to county officials who are showing us that the vote is happening right now. yes, they are counting away, counting all of those ballots, we know that there are 560,000 ballots still yet to be counted in the entire state but the bulk of those, 400,000 to 410,000 are right here in maricopa county. you see the election workers are diligently doing their jobs at this hour. there is a huge load of ballots that has just gone through the machine, and you see the young woman putting those ballots in a box, so those ballots have gone through the tabulation machines and we will hear in the evening our time around 6:00 p.m. arizona time, 8:00 p.m. your
Everyone. one thing i want to point out, it may come down to the runoff in georgia in december or maybe not because you have nevada and arizona. if either party wins nevada or arizona, they would control the u.s. senate no what thor what happens in georgia. i want to focus on arizona and what could happen. right now, mark kelly, the democrat, leads by 95,000 votes. actually, his lead grew as more ballots were processed overnight in maricopa and pima counties. i m going to give you the percentages there of what happened last night in a second. what i want to show you is how blake masters could potentially depending on how the rest of the vote comes in, make up that gap. let s put up the black board here for a second. there are 560,000 votes remaining. i m going to write that down. if he were to win, blake
Less than 60% she could overtake adam laxalt and in arizona, the situation is almost the reverse. you have mark kelly, the democrat, ahead by 95,000 votes, blake masters, the republican, he is behind. that was closer last night but there were new ballots counted or there were ballots that were counted in pima county right here last night. also in maricopa county right here. mark kelly s lead grew. there are 560,000 votes remaining, roughly, in this state. that s a lot of votes left. predominantly from maricopa county but also a bunch from pima county. the trick will be, what does this vote look like? the vote that was processed yesterday, it skewed towards mark kelly but have seen in the past some of the late arriving mail vote in arizona has skewed toward the republican, not impossible with that much runway, 560,000 votes for blake masters to make up that 95,000-vote margin, kate. all right, john.
That still need to be counted and that is a huge number because there s only about 560,000 votes across the state that still need to be counted. we ll give you an update as soon as we get one. can you ask bill when he estimates those votes in maricopa county will be counted? yes, yes. you know we do this to you every day and i m going to have to do it to you again. when do you anticipate the votes will be counted in total, those 400,000 plus votes. well, we have we will be going into next week. there are onesies, twosies but i think we ll see the lion s share wrap up by early next week. early next week. can you give me a day, are we talking monday? maybe as long as you won t hold me to it, you about i think that s what we re looking at at this point again given the number of ballots here, the arizona laws we have to follow and the fact that accuracy comes first.
