There's no doubt that the way Arizona conducted its election is badly in need of reform but Kari Lake is losing by nearly 17,000 votes. To suggest that 17k people walked away from the polls because of long lines & that all of them would have voted for you is insane.
This is not to say that the Election Day issues & horrendous vote counting procedures aren't a major problem that needs to be fixed ASAP to restore faith in the integrity of Arizona's voting system. But margins matter.
Abe Hamadeh (R) who is currently trailing in the #AZAG race by 148 votes could have a legitimate complaint. But Kari Lake who is losing by 16,693 votes lost. The few hundred people who may have been turned away because of voting machine problems wouldn't have changed that.

We are now barely 36 hours from the political highlight of the year.

The presentation of the 12th Annual RRH Turkey of the Year award.

Please join us for a trip down memory lane as we celebrate the first 11 winners of our award for memorable, embarrassing failure.
We christened this award in 2011, when we realized we needed some way to recognize all the joy Anthony Weiner had brought to us that year. From the first sext to the press conferences hijacked by Breitbart and Howard Stern, what a first winner! rrhelections.com/index.php/2011… Image
In 2012, Todd Akin legitimately shut down the GOP's chances of a Senate majority with his mind-bogglingly stupid comments about rape, which nudged Rick Perry and his three departments out of the way: rrhelections.com/index.php/2012…

Quick Election Eve thread on the bane of every nerd's existence this time of year: MIRAGES.

A mirage happens when a state counts heavily R or D ballots particularly early or late in the process, giving one party the appearance of a big lead that disappears as votes are counted.
Ohio, for example, is a BLUE MIRAGE state. In 2020, Ohio counted heavily Dem early/mail ballots first, and Biden led the state deep into the evening. He lost by 8 after the heavily R election day votes were counted.
Pennsylvania is a RED MIRAGE state, although first results will be heavily Dem out of Philly. But the overwhelmingly Dem mail votes will be counted at the end, so don't get too excited over an evening GOP lead.

NEW RRH Polls of 3 districts:

#VA07
🔴 @yestoyesli (R) 47%
🔵 @RepSpanberger (D) 47%

#OR04
🔴 @alekskarlatos (R) 45%
🔵 @ValHoyle (D) 45%

#OH13
🔴 @madisongesiotto (R) 44%
🔵 @EmiliaSykesOH (D) 46%

rrhelections.com/?p=104100
In #VA07 we found Youngkin very popular (+17) and Biden not (-11). Spanberger leads with those who have already voted; Vega will be relying on strong Election Day turnout. Spanberger leads in Stafford County, Vega in Spotsylvania.
In #OR04, Biden is underwater (-9) despite carrying our sample 50-41 in 2020. Undecideds lean young, blue collar, and rural in this tied race. Hoyle does not have as large a lead in Lane County (Eugene) as one may expect.

Just sitting here thinking about where Joe Pinion could be in the polls right now if he could have raised Amy McGrath kind of money for his long shot run against a Senate Majority Leader.
It will be interesting to see if Pinion can do better in 2020 run against a Senate Majority Leader than McGrath did in 2018. This poll indicates that he could. So far Pinion has raised $96 million less than Amy McGrath did.
As of the last campaign finance filing Joe Pinion (R) has raised $400,875 for his #NYSen campaign vs. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D).
