Arizona Governor's Race: Post-Election Ballot Tallies Narrow the Margin

Candidates' Gap Tightens as Votes Continue to Be Counted

After the November 2022 election in Arizona, the gap between the candidates for governor has narrowed considerably. As ballot tallies continue, the race becomes even tighter, with the final outcome still hanging in the balance.

Democrat Mark Kelly leads Republican Martha McSally by a slim margin, with a difference of less than 1%. As of the latest update, Kelly has received roughly 1,500,000 votes, while McSally has received around 1,300,000 votes. With the high number of outstanding ballots, the race remains extremely close.

The election has attracted significant national attention due to its potential to determine the balance of power in the U.S. Senate. A victory for Kelly would give Democrats control of the Senate, while a McSally win would preserve Republican control.

The Arizona Secretary of State's office is expected to continue counting ballots in the coming days. With such a narrow margin, the final outcome of the race may not be known for some time.
