Given what’s outstanding and how game day votes are breaking, Lake will win.

Isn't it all mail and drop box votes left now? I know those don't tend as D in AZ as in other states, but most of them seem to be from Maricopa so I would not be confident if I were Lake.

I'm fascinated that Lake is running so much ahead of Masters. They are both nuts, but Lake seems even more nuts.

I heard some conservatives and Republicans on Twitter griping that the RNC neglected Masters in favor of other Senate races, not sure if that’s true or not but that’s what some people are saying.

Masters was extremely well funded by Thiel.

It will be very interesting to see how those reps try to differentiate themselves from the other 200 R reps who will be bringing the crazy.

If Republicans win the House is will be by a 1-3 vote margin and they may not even be able to elect a Speaker. No way they all support McCarthy after this. Scalise is probably calling right now to build support to challenge him. If they don’t get the majority, they are almost certain to dump McCarthy.

That would be wild. Wonder how it works if Rs split their votes for speaker and Ds vote as a block.

The Republican leadership battle would be fought out in the Republican caucus, not on the House floor, but I think Scalise would beat McCarthy if he challenged him. If Republicans get to 218 to 220, I don’t see them making McCarthy Speaker. All it would take is a rump group saying they won’t support McCarthy. Remember, a few Democrats threatened to oppose Pelosi last time but backed down after assurances, but also because there was no feasible alternative.

Why would that rump group oppose McCarthy but support Scalise? They seem pretty similar to me, with Scalise being the more extreme.

The rump group would be hard asses who know that McCarthy is ineffective and unimpressive and Pelosi would continue to eat his lunch. Nobody has any confidence or trust in McCarthy.

I see. Like a freedom caucus rump. I'm wondering if there is another rump of "red dogs" who just narrowly won in blue states. They may want to try to get concessions from McCarthy that he's not going to do nutty stuff like try to impeach Biden or try to use the debt ceiling as leverage.

Speaker is an impossible job with a small Republican majority because they have too many Members who would never vote for a compromise bill that could get 60 votes in the Senate and that Biden would sign, while other Republicans want to legislate and bargain to pass pork and patronage bills for their interest groups. These guys can’t pass a budget or regular appropriations or authorization bills. Pelosi and Biden know that McCarthy or any other Republican Speaker can’t deliver 218 votes for anything and will need Democratic votes for anything to pass. Pelosi knows how to play that hand.

They're not only going to refuse to compromise, they are going to actively try to sow chaos. They'll be trying to shut down the government, stop a debt ceiling increase, impeach anyone they can, etc. The only way out of that will be for McCarthy to work with the Democrats, but that will put a target on his back. Hannity and Tucker will be screaming that his a RINO every night and Trump will be truth'ing it up.

No it's all game day votes and votes that were dropped off Election Day when the printers were messed up and the machines would not read the ballots. Those are the votes being counted now, and like in the primary, they are breaking 70/30 or so in favor of Rs. The early leads you saw were mail and early votes, which get counted first.

It's normal not to get mail in votes by day of? That seems...off...

All one needs is a stamp and a change of date.

Common knowledge. AZ can count mail ins ahead of vote day, and they have to be in by Nov 3rd.

According to this, it's 400,000 mail-in and drop-off votes and 17,000 in-person votes from the printing issue:

They have to be mailed by election day, but it takes time for mail to go from one place to another.

It's been that way in a lot of states for years. They have to be postmarked by Election Day.
