Kyrsten Sinema widens lead in Senate race over Martha McSally
< < Go Back
Latest polling numbers released from the Secretary of State’s office shows Kyrsten Sinema has taken a slight lead over Martha McSally in the race for Arizona Senate.
As of 5 p.m. Friday, Sinema has 991,189 votes statewide, while McSally has 970,986.
About 362,000 votes remain uncounted across the state of Arizona as of Friday evening, according to the Secretary of State’s office.
It is one of the most-watched races across the country: will Martha McSally, a Republican, or Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat, serve as Arizona’s first female senator?
Both are vying to fill Sen. Jeff Flake’s seat after Flake’s announcement in 2017 that he would not seek re-election.
As preliminary results started to come in Tuesday evening, the two appeared to be in a dead heat with both flip-flopping for the lead.
Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes expects ballot counting to continue for several days. Officials will continue to update the results daily at 5 p.m.
