Arizona Election Update -- Kelly And Fontes Win



Not only has Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly won his race in Arizona over Trumpkin shit sandwich Blake Masters, but the critical Secretary of State race has been called for Democrat Adrian Fontes over QAnon election- denying kook Mark Finchem:

Republican Mark Finchem, a prominent election denier, has lost to Democrat Adrian Fontes in the race for Arizona secretary of state race, NBC News projects.

Fontes, a former top elections official for Maricopa County, will succeed Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, the Democratic nominee for governor.

Finchem was among a host of GOP candidates for statewide office who have repeatedly cast doubt over Joe Biden’s presidential victory or falsely claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump in Arizona.

Last year, Trump backed Finchem's candidacy and highlighted his record of defending the stolen election claims. “Mark was willing to say what few others had the courage to say” about the 2020 election, Trump said in offering his public support...

Hopefully, the Arizona Governor and AG races will follow suit.

The Kelly win puts the Democrats at 49 seats, with the Nevada race still un- called (though Nevada guru Jon Ralston believes the Cortez Masto/ Laxalt race could be called today or tomorrow, with a recount likely).   If Sen. Cortez Masto can hold on for the win, Democrats maintain Senate control regardless of the December 6 runoff in Georgia between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and the lump.  

BONUSDemocrats are also killing it in the all- important State legislative elections, in Arizona and elsewhere, the best off- year showing since 1934!
