yes, i think we also need to listen to what kari lake is saying. this is a woman who knows that she may will be installed as the governor. she might actually win this thing. she is focusing her commentary on the system. the system, the corrupt system needs to be fixed. we should pay attention to that because if she wins, that s 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.
just showed you in that sample of 15,000 or so. that could be a very significant gain for cortez masto in terms of trying to catch laxalt. i want to ask you a process question, because i know you are also asking general election officials in terms of when it votes are expected, and of what kind. in your experience doing this, is there anything that seems to be strange or off, or a typical, or worrying at all in terms of the way the votes are being processed, and the pace at which the vote is happening. i only ask this because they re still conspiracy rising on the right that there may be something wrong with this vote coming in in the way that it is. does it seem like a fairly typical process to you? i know it s frustrating. it s frustrating for me. that it comes in so slowly. i know this gets all twisted up in politics, and in conspiracy theories, i do wonder if there s a discussion to be had both parties could talk to each other and put aside all of
vote just came in, i think this was from clark county, let me just check. it was from clark county. okay. we were expecting about 14 to 15,000 votes, something along those lines in clark county. that s what we just got recorded out here. cortez masto picks up 9150 votes. it looks like she adds 9,158 from where she was. and laxalt adds 4,269 votes from where he was. better than 2 to 1 advantage in these votes that we are just reporting. again, i think this was a combination of mail it had arrived on monday, and drop box ballots in clark county that had arrived on monday. this is an encouraging sign for democrats who are counting on dropbox ballots being a disproportionately democratic from this pool here, a little
that i was telling you about to nearly erase joe biden s lead, let s bring it down from 90,000 to about 9700. that s the ground the republicans can really make up with that in 2020. i think if the democrats can get the lead, in the senate race over 100,000 votes, again it is a very wild card here. we ve seen that late arriving, you see that final patch and two completely different characteristics from the partisan standpoint in the last two elections. and so if it ends up being sorry what s that? we may have some new nevada vote, we can take a look at it. it s a big variable with that final vote is going to look like. certainly, kelly with much more of a pad, you can see him withstand the late republican advance and hobbs has in the governor s race. in nevada, we do have a new
the election. certainly, we saw that trend last night in arizona. if you re watching last, night you saw that big initial reports put kelly ahead by like 20 points in the senate race. that was early vote all getting reported out quickly. then what happened in the overnight hours is they added up all of the same-day vote, and the same-day vote is what brought masters closer in the senate race. it s what brought kari lake close in the governor s race. democrats are hoping that this batch of votes, this sort of late arriving early votes, that it favors them and gives kelly a pad in the senate race and it boosts hobbs in the 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,
