Arizona’s two newest members of Congress joined more than 80 other newly elected House members for freshmen orientation November 13, as Democrats prepare to seize control of the lower chamber for the first time in eight years.

Republican leads in close races on November 6 vanished as county recorders counted ballots in the days after, and Republicans turned to attacking Arizona’s electoral process, making unfounded claims of vote rigging.

Last Tuesday was supposed to conclude this election season, but in true Arizona fashion, the counting continues.

Arizona Democrats' wish list included picking up a U.S. Senate seat, ousting Gov. Doug Ducey, picking up other statewide seats and flipping the state Senate.

The “blue wave” appears to have missed Arizona. Democrats not only failed to make significant strides at the statewide level but also remain the minority party in both the state House and Senate.

Red for Ed may be over, but it's too soon to tell what consequences - and possibly new elected officials - it will bring to the Capitol over time.

Tens of thousands of Red for Ed supporters marched on the Capitol last week, and they say they'll stay out of schools until Gov. Doug Ducey and the Legislature come up with a plan for education that satisfies them.
