With 99% of the votes counted as of Wednesday, Democrat Katie Hobbs will beat Republican Kari Lake by about 17,000 votes in the Grand Canyon State.
Last week, Hobbs was projected to narrowly win the race for Arizona’s governor’s mansion. With 99% of the votes counted as of Wednesday, Hobbs will beat Lake by about 17,000 votes in the Grand Canyon State. The margin is above the threshold that would trigger an automatic recount.
Lake, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has raised election integrity concerns centered on Arizona’s Maricopa County, where on Election Day, 70 polling places experienced voting machine issues. However residents of the state’s most populous county were still able to cast ballots, according to state election officials.

And for the governor, if he says he’s going to certify this, and Lake told Steve BannonLake has filed a lawsuit against Maricopa County election officials seeking more information about the problems at the polls and how many voters were affected.
