Democrat gaining as Arizona Senate race vote count drags on

[Tony_FLADEM]

PHOENIX (Reuters) - With several hundred thousand ballots still to be counted in the race for an Arizona Senate seat, a Democrat who earlier conceded the race to his Republican rival was gaining and appeared to have a distant shot at the seat after all.

Former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona conceded on election night last Tuesday to six-term U.S. Congressman Jeff Flake after about three quarters of precincts had reported, showing Flake with a lead of about six percentage points.

But nearly a week later, with more than 340,000 ballots yet to be counted, the tally has tightened to about four points, leaving the Carmona campaign watching closely to ensure that each and every ballot is counted.

I bet most of the provisional ballots are Democrats who voted for Carmona.

1. And once it's discovered that the provisional ballots are all for Carmona

DoJ better be investigating and indicting those responsible for the disenfranchisement and voter suppression.

4. Eric Cantor is staying on

That means the DoJ will continue to be absolutely spineless and toothless.

I cannot remember a more inept AG.

5. I think you mean Eric Holder

Eric Cantor is the weasal-faced doucherocket Congressman

6. Correct, sorry

Of the two, I'd say Holder has been more harmful to our interests by letting his office get rolled over time and again.

2. I had a feeling the vote discrepancy as of last Tuesday night was far too great to be real.
