governor s race, as well. i mentioned the governors races close. we re expecting to get a big chunk of this any minute now but then, once all that is added in, the one other major outstanding piece of business in maricopa county, and this is a biggie, will be 275,000 votes that were delivered by voters to the polls on election day in person. and this is the wild card, and it may end up being the ultimate wild card, because there are good theories from each party on how to interpret how this will look. republicans look at that and say, that vote, the vote that was delivered in person on election day 2020, that was a pro trump vote. that s why if you remember in 2020, as the week went along, biden s lead got shorter and shorter, and he ended up winning the state by less than 9,700 votes. that was these ballots being counted up election week 2020.
for mark kelly. take a look at the governor s race as, well it s similar, waiting for the update there as well. in the senate race, 95,318 votes, that is now mark kelly s lead. the significance of this vote was that the democrats were hoping that this would be a democratic vote that would allow kelly to pad his lead. remember, the total number from this kind of pool that we just got votes from, it s 136, 000, that s what county officials told us. 136,000 ballots they were being returned, friday, saturday, sunday, or monday. and again, what we are seeing reported out here is that we have 62,000. it would appear that it is not the entirety of that weekend slash monday vote. it appears that there is more from that to go, and if the rest of that bucket breaks the same way, again, that is a more ground that kelly can gain
catherine cortez masto, who is trailing by 20,000 votes, the core of the outstanding vote is in the two big counties, washoe and clark where las vegas is combined 90% of the state, the biggie s car county. basically, in clark county, there s about 15,000 votes we might get reported out tonight , and then on top of the, there is still another 70,000 or so yet to be reported. there s probably a total of 85,000 outstanding votes in clark county. what they mainly are about ballots that were put in drop boxes on election day, nearly 60,000 total, where votes in ballots taken from drop boxes on election day. we will get an update, we expect tonight, it won t be anything near that 85,000. the number in washoe county s is 61,000. and about two thirds of the, again, this is mail in vote basically, about two thirds of the arrive before election day and about one third of that
votes behind my kelly, she probably needs this last batch of votes to give her a lot more like 2018, when it was democratic friendly, and 2020 when it was republican firmly. democrats do add carl kelly has added about 10,000 votes to his margin statewide over the last hour. again, this is the update, and now maricopa update. this is probably will see if i can find this, but the way that they do this is an update for the night for maricopa county. tomorrow, we ll be seeing if we can get that. steve let me just ask you, in terms of what you did just see come in, and we understand that it s only a portion of what remains, was the partisan split on that vote that we did just get the kind of partisan split the democrats were hoping for, or was it an underwhelming number in terms of 55% roughly democrat vote? i think it s helpful, you use it as a point of reference in 2020 when donald trump used that final batch of votes here
what she is going to do. she is going to make sure, at least if we are listening to what she is saying, she won t say the governor s race is fraudulent, because she won it. but as governor, you can bet that you ll want to install loyalists or some kind of operatives that she feels will be maleable to republican wins, at least that is what i am cleaning from that. the fact that she is focusing on the corruption of the system and not the vote in in of itself. i think we need to think about, the reason we talked about kari lake and had this conversation on our team why do we keep talking about trump, can t we let it go? we don t want to talk about it anymore. the reason we need to talk about people who are dangerous to system is that their core danger in their ability to gather around them a sort of cult following. that is why trump is dangerous. he s not particularly good at being president but he gathered around him a cold. kari lake is dangerous because she is actually really goo
