I’m back outside the Maricopa County voting center with another crowd of Trump supporters gathered at the same site as the night before.

This time officials have erected a fence to keep praying demonstrators away from the entrance. @FDRLST
Fox and the AP have each called Arizona for Biden, who currently leads by 70,000 votes while thousands remain to be counted.

Maricopa County, the state’s biggest, is expected to report another batch at 9pm eastern. Last night’s cut Biden’s lead by half

Officials refused to respond to @RepGosar’s request for building access last night.

“We are not going to harm anybody. This is a peaceful protest.”

Biden’s lead drops below 60,000 statewide after drop from Pima County.

More votes expected from Maricopa County at the top of the hour
More votes from Maricopa County just brought Biden’s Arizona lead down to ~46,000.

Good news for the president on track to hold the state. Still 316,000 to count.
On Sharpiegate, @KellyTownsend11, who has been investigating tells me the biggest issue is the irregularities between precincts, where some were forced to use the markers and others weren’t sparking confusion.

Validity of ballots will play out in courts courts, she said.
Arizona’s Republican attorney general meanwhile just released this statement an hour ago:

Q: What will big tech be like under Joe Biden? Will censorship be worse?

Jones: Communist China is the model.
Group is back in prayer
Antifa is already gone by the way. They had about ten people in total, who left after a @Cernovich and others got between them and Trump demonstrators to defuse situation.

I didn’t see any punches thrown.

I’m outside the @AZGOP headquarters in Phoenix for @FDRLST this afternoon where the Trump campaign will be holding a press conference.

Biden currently leads the state by about 70,000 votes, a gap that’s narrowing as more come in.
The state’s largest county, Maricopa, still has ~275,000 ballots to be counted and will be releasing another round tonight at 9pm eastern.

Trump took nearly 60 percent of the batch dropped last night. thefederalist.com/2020/11/05/tru…

Hello from the Denver capitol. Just got here as most of the earlier crowd was leaving. A group of about 100 or so have stayed behind, unclear for how long. Leaders stressing for everyone to go home.
Anyway, this was most of my evening
