this is the lauren goldberg district. she has become an icon among maga republicans. you see 73 votes. we switch to the county level of this district. i was telling you, i was texting with a democrat out there who was nervous. she thought she could make up the votes. it s 73 votes. million is others over there. i want to show you this. this is pueblo county here. it is a democrat county, not by a lot. 2 points. the race will be decided here. a slight democratic advantage. does that mean how people voted yesterday? we don t know. very, very interesting. we re on alert for the minute the votes drop. thousands of ballots on the line. you ll get the results right here. back in a moment. only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty.
and what is happening is that we have ballots that are coming in. and they are being received by the counties. and as long as they are in by 7:00 p.m. on election day, they are eligible to be reviewed and to go through the process. so what the county does is they get those ballots ready for signature review. they go through manual process, they are comparing the signature on the ballot of a david with a signature on file to ensure it is the correct person. then it goes to another board that separates the ballot from the envelope. because we have a constitutional right to a secret ballot in arizona. then it is put in for tabulation. so i understand that viewers and voters alike sometimes are not understanding why these processes take so long. it is really to ensure the integrity of the election. thank you so much.
categories. they are being heavily watched. another category being heavily watched, is the secretary of state s office. you have mark fincham who has spouted some qanon conspiracies and who is also an election denier from 2020. and you know, basically, his job, if he were to win would be to certify the vote. to certify the next presidential election. and that has some folks, especially in the county worried. if you didn t believe that the perfectly fair election that didn t have any major problems was not a fair vote, what will happen in other instances? a lot of people have their eyes on arizona trying to figure out who voters believe and what they want. it is a good bellwether because it is one of the swing states. thank you. once again, the arizona assistant secretary of state. thank you for joining us. do we have any idea of timing?
but what i can tell you all is that we have between 400,000 and 410,000 ballots left to count. that s because we had 290,000 ballots dropped off last night, which is more early ballots than we have ever had before on election night. reporter: and in case anybody s confused, thank you so much megan. if anybody s confused, we have heard different numbers. it was 275,000 votes that were cast. these numbers go up and down depending on how many times they re able to get them sorted and verified. now it s 290,000 that came in just last night, and that was the last bit of voters showing up. and we have just heard 62,000 more votes have been counted here in maricopa county, the post populous county that is in the state. sara sidner, thanks so much. john king, we see the vote
tabulation here changed. that s the state-wide tabulation. mark kelly gained a net in maricopa county, which is the county here. that k stands for kelly. k stands for kelly. not 1,000. this is kelly. this is maricopa county, the largest county in the state. the new votes that just came in, 7,320 net gain for mark kelly, which increased his state-wide lead to 95,000. he was about 85,000. he was 87,000, and it went up to 95,000 and change. these are the 65,000-plus votes that were just counted. there are tens of thousands of more votes to count. but if you re the candidate with the lead, you want to be going up, not down. it was 73%, estimated reporting. now it s 76%. and kelly went up 10,000. that doesn t mean, we should note, that s going to be the trend every time new votes come. let s look at the governor s race here, because it has also
