Arizona Senate race ends with surprising numbers between two main rivals

The Arizona Senate race reached its final stage when late monday night Ruben Gallego secured a definite win against his Republican rival Kari Lake

In a late-night announcement (around 11:49pm ET) Associated Press confirmed the Democratic candidates victory; based on clear mathematical calculations. The vote-count showed Gallego leading with 50% while Lake trailed at 48% - creating a substantial gap of 73k votes

The remaining vote-count situation made any potential comeback impossible: with about 181k ballots still uncounted Lake would need an unrealistic win-rate of 7 out of 10 votes to change the outcome. The current results (showing roughly 95% of total votes processed) dont leave room for alternative scenarios

The election-process demonstrated a clear-cut example of how precise vote-counting and real-time analysis helps determine outcomes before complete ballot processing - making the raceʼs conclusion undisputable despite some remaining uncounted votes
