McSally Apparently Wins Round One; Recount Imminent
In the never-ending saga of Congressional District 2 vote counting, Freedom's candidate Martha McSally stubbornly clings to the lead. She is now 133 votes ahead of CONTROL party incumbent Rob Barber, and that appears to be enough after the first vote count.Pima County election officials counted 4.700 votes today, and just 200 provisional ballots remain uncounted. That makes it highly unlikely Barber could gain the needed 134 votes to pass McSally. And not all of the 200 ballots may even be from citizens residing within Congressional District 2.So it appears McSally wins the original election. And now the recount will begin, since the election was so close.CONTROL candidates now know how many votes they need to manipulate to steal this election. They've done it before -- many times -- and they'll try every trick in the book. Pray that McSally has good lawyers!McSally just released this statement:
“No doubt this has been a long process for everyone involved and we are grateful for all the support and encouragement we’ve seen. There are still ballots left to count, but we are confident that when all ballots are in, our lead will hold. We will continue to provide oversight of the process until then. ”
If McSally's lead withstands the recount, she would give the party of Freedom a 5-4 lead over the CONTROL your life party among Congressmen in Arizona.
