With the tallies from early ballots released, Arizona is living up to its designation as a battleground state.

In the presidential race, Democratic challenger Joe Biden is out with an early lead over Republican incumbent Donald Trump. Among early voters, Biden has captured 57 percent of the vote, while Trump has 41 percent.

In the U.S. Senate race, Democrat Mark Kelly has a larger lead over Republican Martha McSally. Kelly, who had led in most polls leading up to  had captured 58 percent of the vote among early ballots. If Kelly prevails, McSally will have lost two U.S. Senate races in two years, handing the Democratic Party both of Arizona’s Senate seats for the first time

  1. “U.S. Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick had captured 63 percent of the vote against Republican challenger Brandon Martin.”

    Disgusting. Brandon is a good guy and extremely well-qualified. Kirkpatrick is a drunk, who couldn’t even perform her job, yet the dummies reelect her. But she fits right in with the S. AZ delegation in Congress. Ann and Raul, what a pair.

  2. In Congressional District 3, U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva was cruising to victory with 71 percent of the early vote against GOP challenger Daniel Wood.

    It’s easy when the courts have gerrymandered your district into a “Safe Minority-Majority” district. Hell, it’s easier than falling off your bar stool.

  4. I’ve been here since 1945, my mom came here (alone) as a sixteen-year old in 1929 and married my father here in the 1930’s. I’m not going anywhere. If you don’t like me pointing out the obvious Dim bullshit, you leave.

  5. I don’t think wess needs a drink Louise, in fact he’s probably already had too many. I believe it’s because he’s sad that his facist stuffy old white guys club has to face modern changes for improvement. The blue wave that washed over our state in this election cycle is killing him. He can’t tolerate the fact that there are actually people in Arizona who are wise to Rethuglican bullshit.

    He’s aiming to be the conservative grammarian version of captain arizona. Just read his daily multiple rants that most people on this site couldn’t care less about. Why he feels the need to vent his hatred towards a group of people that will never have any empathy for it is beyond me.

    Like you said, if he doesn’t like it, he can and he should leave. If he can’t handle a change for the better, why does being here since 1945 matter? I’m not sure why he wants to torture himself the way he does.
