Maricopa County continues to disappoint Arizona voters and the whole country.
Officials there are now saying that they won’t be done counting the votes until early next week:

AZ: Spokesperson for #MaricopaCounty elections tells me the majority of ballots won’t be done being counted until after the weekend. They initially anticipated 95-99% of ballots to be completed by Friday.

This is really abysmal. There is just no good excuse for the vote count taking this long.
But it’s not all bad news. Kari Lake just tweeted ‘huge’ numbers being posted from Yavapai County:
HUGE Majority of votes breaking for Republicans. More to come. All eyes on you, Maricopa. Hustle up! https://t.co/Bde0LQgVZI

That’s great news. I haven’t noticed any change in the percentages yet, but it will come. It might be next week, but I feel sure Lake will win it eventually.
