2018 has been an exciting year from the start. As it comes to a close we’re looking back on some of the standout moments.

Secretary of State-elect Katie Hobbs will push to take the politics out of Arizona’s elections office.

Steve Gaynor finally conceded late Friday he isn't going to be secretary of state.

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.

Katie Hobbs is going to be Arizona’s next secretary of state – and a heartbeat away from governor – absent a sudden and unlikely last-minute burst of votes from Maricopa County favoring Steve Gaynor, her Republican opponent.

Republican Justin Olson will be taking the second open spot on the Arizona Corporation Commission, and Democrat Katie Hobbs is making headway in her bid to be the next secretary of state.

The latest votes counted appear to put Democrat Sandra Kennedy close to being able to reclaim a seat on the Arizona Corporation Commission.

The latest batch of votes counted Monday put the U.S. Senate out of the reach of Republican Martha McSally and into the hands of an Arizona Democrat for the first time since 1994.

Any losing candidate in the general election who is counting on an automatic recount needs to come close to winning. Really close.

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