FIRST: Let’s note that tonight’s latest vote tally out of Maricopa County did NOT include any Box 3 votes.
SECOND: The race has narrowed again in Arizona after the latest from Maricopa broke for Kari Lake over Katie Hobbs, with some blue strongholds among the latest numbers and several red strongholds to go.
Here’s a few tweets with data.

NEW DROP: I received a heads up just before the drop that this was going to be the LAST ugly drop from Maricopa (I know we've said this before and we're just as exhausted by it). To sum it up, "we won the ugly" so this is good news:
Kari Lake:
51.8%
Katie Hobbs:
48.2%— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) November 13, 2022
Here’s the CNN estimate, for what that’s worth.
Like we noted above:
There were no box 3 ballots in this latest tabulation.

But confidence remains high, assuming everything is kosher.
Hearing from team @KariLake that they feel good about the latest Maricopa drop — winning roughly 52-48. They expected this drop to be the most Democratic friendly left — believing bigger GOP drops still to come.
Still, it’s all gonna come down to the wire.

.@KariLake: "We’re going to win this. Everybody in this state knows we’re going to win it. I was running against a basement candidate who didn’t even campaign, didn’t debate, and the people didn’t vote for her.”https://t.co/aBTdixL0Ve
