WARNING: Tweets from "Election Center" are NOT verified mainstream projections [View all]

There are At least Two threads with “projections” from “Election Center” calling both the Katie Porter and Katie Hobbs races.

Neither of these races has been called by any mainstream network.

“Election Center” is an unknown source, and not a reliable mainstream media source.

The OP’s should consider deleting their posts, rather than spreading misinformation.
