Heard her local Tucson radio ad a few times the other day. "I'm Martha McSally and Ive been in the Air Force for 26 years as a Fighter Pilot, and retired as a Colonel..." bla bla bla

The inflections in her voice during those words were totally obvious

Arizona recount procedures

An automatic recount is required when the margin between the two candidates with the greatest number of votes for a particular office is either less than 0.1% of votes cast or does not exceed 200 votes for statewide offices or 50 votes for offices in the state legislature. [1] When the canvass shows a recount is required for a statewide office or a congressional race, the Secretary of State certifies the facts requiring the recount to thesuperior court in Maricopa County. [2] The court enters an order requiring a recount in accord with state requirements regarding election vote counting. [3] Where the vote was conducted on electronic voting equipment, the recount is conducted on an automatic tabulating system furnished and programmed by the Secretary of State. § 16-664. The results are presented to the court and the court announces the results and enters an order describing its determination. [4] The state or county pays the costs of the recount.[5]

Recount requests are not permitted. Barrera v. Superior Court, 117 Ariz. 528, 573 P.2d 928 (App. Div.2 1977).

So given the numbers at the moment: yes.

Um.... 105485 - 105099 = 386; 386 > 200

105485 + 105099 = 210584; 210584 x .1% = 211; 386 > 211

Unless there are an update to the numbers, the info you posted seems to say there is NOT cause for a recount....

You are correct. The 386 difference is .182433454%. No recount required. Although feel free to check my math again.

Ballots still being counted...

McSally 'optimistic' in race with Barber as vote count continues

***WARNING*** That link contains pics of the candidates! You've been warned!

Unofficial results from the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office showed McSally on Wednesday maintaining a lead of 1,312 votes, or less than 1 percent, over Barber in District 2, which includes Tucson and all of Cochise County.

Harvie argued that provisional ballots cast on Election Day and ballots in Republican-leaning Cochise County would put McSally over the top. McSally clearly won Election Day votes, while Barber led strongly in early ballots.

But Pima County had more than 80,000 ballots left to tally countywide, with about half being early ballots and half provisional ballots that would need to be verified by election officials. It was not immediately clear how many ballots remained uncounted in Cochise County.
