In Arizona, there are still over 600,000 yet to be counted, and in Maricopa County alone....it’s estimated that over half of the ballots have yet to be counted.
Right now, according to the Phoenix New Times, Joe Arpaio is beating Paul Penzone by 87,360 votes, while Jeff Flake is beating Richard Carmona by 78,775 votes. Six hundred thousand votes in either of those races—especially when they are provisional ballots, which tend to lean Democrat—could make a big difference.
Still, was there not one contrarian voter in those 59 divisions, where unofficial vote tallies have President Obama outscoring Romney by a combined 19,605 to 0?
Although voter registration lists, which often contain outdated information, show 12 Republicans live in the ward's third division, The Inquirer was unable to find any of them by calling or visiting their homes.
James Norris, 19, who lives down the street, is listed as a Republican in city data. But he said he's a Democrat and voted for Obama because he thinks the president will help the middle class.
A few blocks away, Eric Sapp, a 42-year-old chef, looked skeptical when told that city data had him listed as a registered Republican. "I got to check on that," said Sapp, who voted for Obama.
Three of the 15th's registered Republicans were listed as living in the same apartment, but the tenant there said he had never heard of them. The addresses of several others could not be found.
On West Albert Street, Duke Dunston says he knows he's a registered Republican, but he's never voted for one.
must be nice to be in a state where your vote 'matters'. Never heard of anyone trying that in ma or ny.
Some weird shit with the ballots all around this year. Florida finally got called but Arizona is still actually counting votes.

This after allegations in Arizona of the following:
Robocalls directing Democratic voters to wrong poll locations.
Sent out notices to some voters announcing the elections as Nov. 8 instead of Nov. 6.
Loads of first time voters were told they were not registered after all, and had to cast a provisional ballot instead of vote normally. There were more than double the average number of provisional ballots this election.
Some Polling places opened almost an hour late
Lines were 1-3 hours long.
Some people had to make a hell of a lot of effort to exercise their right to vote this year.
