And if Sinema is officially named the winner, I expect to see another GOP lawsuit headed to the Supreme Court on that issue.Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D) widened her lead over Rep. Martha McSally (R) in the heated Arizona Senate race after a new round of ballots were tallied in the Democrat's favor late Friday. Sinema more than doubled her lead over McSally with Friday evening's latest tranche of results. The Democrat now leads her GOP challenger by 20,203 votes. Earlier Friday, Sinema led McSally by just 9,163 votes out of nearly 2 million cast — a 0.48 percentage point lead. She now leads her opponent by just over 1 percentage point.
The vast majority of the votes tallied Friday came from Maricopa County, the state's largest county, where there were an estimated 345,000 uncounted votes prior to Friday's evenings results.
[...]
The largest pool of votes likely to favor McSally come from Pinal County, where an estimated 30,000 votes remain untallied.
[...]
Friday's wave of results came the same day a settlement was reached in a Phoenix courtroom that permits rural voters to have extra time to fix issues with their ballots, according to The Associated Press.
The settlement is a compromise in response to a Republican lawsuit that sought to stop urban voters from making those changes on the ballots.
