New statewide totals Saturday night show that Hobbs increased her lead over Lake to 34,129 votes, up by more than 3,000 from the same time Friday.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Republican Kari Lake fell further behind Saturday in her bid to be governor.The latest tally from Maricopa County Saturday evening added 43,795 to the total of the GOP contender. By contrast, only 40,796 of the new votes were for Democrat Katie Hobbs.
But Lake gathered only 51.8% of the the more than 85,000 votes Maricopa counted Saturday. Those votes also came largely from those same-day drop-offs that Lake claimed would fall her way. And if that trend holds for the remaining 195,000, it won't be enough for Lake to overtake Hobbs.The slightly heavier edge for Republicans in the latest data dump from Maricopa County also was not enough to dent the lead of Democrat Mark Kelly in the Senate contest against Blake Masters.
The story on Saturday evening was mixed for the two other Democrats locked in close races that remain too close to call. And incumbent state schools chief Kathy Hoffman now just has a 9,400-vote advantage over Republican Tom Horne, giving her 50.2% of the total votes cast.
