PSA: Polls in Arizona are officially closed, and first results are expected after 8 p.m. We’ll be updating this thread with #Election2020 results as they come in. You can also bookmark this page for live updates: azcentral.com/elections/resu…
First, a note to our readers on how we'll call election races, from our exec editor @gburton and editorial director @boas_phil: We don’t predict winners. Historically, we’ve relied on @AP to call national and state elections based on their vote counts. azcentral.com/story/news/ari…
Continued: This election won't end today. Tight races historically take a while.
Actual vote counts take weeks to tabulate. Arizona's election isn’t certified until Nov. 30. And your vote for president is actually a vote for an elector. Electors don’t meet until Dec. 14.
We will not tweet national or state election results until they’re confirmed by @AP and we will rely on election data from Maricopa County to call local races. azcentral.com/elections/resu…
Here's a recap of the results that have come in so far for Arizona, according to AP:
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has won Arizona, AP reports.
This is the first presidential victory for a Democratic candidate here since 1996, but the national race is still too close to call.
