Delayed Arizona Election Results Leave Key Races Undecided

Arizona is experiencing significant delays in counting ballots from the recent election, affecting the reporting of results for key races, including a U.S. Senate contest. Counties like Cochise, Pima, Yavapai, and Yuma have over 25% of ballots uncounted due to issues such as mechanical problems with tabulators and lengthy ballot processing times. Voter advocates are concerned that these delays may not allow voters enough time to address issues with their ballots, such as mismatched signatures, before the state-imposed deadline. Voting rights groups are calling for an extension of this deadline to ensure all votes are counted.
