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

New election returns Sunday put Democrat Katie Hobbs in striking distance in the race for secretary of state.

New figures Saturday evening show Democrat U.S. Rep. Kyrsten Sinema has amassed 1,048,655 votes. That gives her a lead over Republican U.S. Rep. Martha McSally that now approaches 30,000.

Arizona Republicans and Democrats agreed Friday to give rural voters an extra chance to fix problems with their ballots in the count of the state's tight Senate race, resolving a GOP lawsuit that sought to stop urban voters from using those very same procedures.

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 latest returns from the state's two largest counties has given Kyrsten Sinema the lead in her bid for U.S. Senate -- barely.

A legal bid by Republicans to change ballot-counting procedures - presumably in their favor - may be too late to help any of their candidates in close races.

Some 600,000 ballots that remain uncounted Wednesday are leaving the race for U.S. Senate and the state schools chief up in the air -- along with possibly some legislative races -- perhaps for days.

Arizona's knock-down, all-out Senate race is heading into overtime, as a neck-and-neck contest between two congresswomen collides with Arizona's sometimes glacial vote-counting procedures.

The end of this election cycle is upon us, and while some races are more than predictable, others may be too close to call.
