More than 600,000 ballots in Arizona still uncounted

[RandySF]

More than 600,000 early and provisional ballots statewide have yet to be processed and counted, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett said Wednesday.

Of that total, nearly 460,000 votes still haven’t been counted in Maricopa County, and that’s complicating the ability to call several close races throughout Arizona.

Bennett said the uncounted ballot total was 602,334 as of Wednesday, including Maricopa County’s 344,000 uncounted early ballots and 115,000 provisional ballots yet to be verified.

State law gives the counties 10 calendar days — until Nov. 16 — to verify and process the remaining early and provisional ballots.

1. So what's the margin in the Senate race, then?

Do we have another Al Franken moment on our hands?

2. The Al Franken "year"

No, make that the "Al Franken decade"!

3. Carmona trails by around 80,000 votes

Assuming a large portion of the provisional ballots are tossed, he will need to win the remaining votes around a 60/40 rate, give or take a few points.

4. The provisional ballots were cast dis-proportionally by Democrats

by design. Carmona conceivably pick up the needed votes to win.

5. Thought I read that Maricopa County was one of the biggest rMoney counties in the US...

Not saying that the votes for Carmona are not there, just that apparently Maricopa County is big for pugs...

That would be great, Flake is a flake...
