Republican Martha McSally’s lead over Democratic Congressman Ron Barber in Congressional District 2 tightened to just 341 votes today after Pima County tabulated another 3,355 ballots.
More than 7,300 provisional ballots have been transferred to the Pima County Elections Department for verification, with an unknown number still in the possession of the Pima County Recorder’s Office, according to Pima County spokesman Mark B. Evans. Rodriguez expects to finalize the process for nearly all provisional ballots by tomorrow and the Election Department will likely be able to count most of them by the end of the day.
We’re told that just two ballots remain to be counted in Cochise County.
As McSally’s lead shrinks, her legal team threatened legal action to disqualify some provisional ballots earlier today.

Two ballots? Who goes home when there are only two left?
I read somewhere that the two remaining in Cochise are “Conditional Provisional” ballots. These are submitted by voters without acceptable ID who then have until 5PM Wednesday to come back with proper ID. The votes will be counted when the voter comes back or tossed Wednesday night.
Republicans trying to steal another election. Nothing but a bunch of Nazis.
Yo’ Bob. You actually are saying that the Repubs steal elections??? After all of the proven fraud, corruption, Acorn, Lost Military ballots, etc. throughout the U.S. in the last couple of elections, you try the Obama tactics of accusing the other side (BTW I’m an Independent) and expect people to believe that crap! It’s the Democrats that have millions of illegals illegally voting in our elections, not the Repubs. You are proof that the Liberal left are not only evil but stupid!
Rick Jason said “the Democrats that have millions of illegals illegally voting in our elections”, really? Since there are “millions” of them, there must be quite a few examples of people being prosecuted for illegally voting. How could I have missed that? Sounds like a huge story.
There would be a “huge story” William, if they could find all of these illegals. Hell, DHS can’t even find them. They’re like cockroaches when the lights come on. They disappear fast!
What a whiner–big military person–too bad she can’t lace up her bootstraps, and be a better LOSER!
Regardless of the outcome let’s analyze what the President said about the major losses to the Democratic Party.
“I am going to work for those people that did not vote this time.”
What a pitiful joke he has become. Talk about stealing elections? He doesn’t need to. He just makes up excuses as he goes.
Give me a break. Voting is too important to “forget” your ID. And if you do, just bring it back and prove it the next day. That is why they are called PROVISIONAL ballots. Just because McSally want to make sure things are on the up-and-up, you say she wants to disenfranchise voters. I really wish there was 100% voter turnout of all legal citizens, legally residing in every jurisdiction and that sides did not try and cheat. Voting is one of our most important rights. Why not require an ID? I do not know of a legal citizen who would be intimidated to show their ID. Most of my family are immigrants, including my naturalized wife from Mexico. She is now a citizen and can vote and she has no problem with requiring an ID to vote. It is sad that such a high number of Pima county voters always seem to “forget” their IDs. Shouldn’t we consider voting just a b it more important than that?
And how dare you Belinda J Acosta call McSally a whiner. I suppose you served in our military and in combat? You seem like a whiner just because you are worried that if all the votes are actually counted and verified that Barber may lose. As a veteran myself, I salute McSally and thank her for her service. If Barber wins legitimately, then great our democratic system is working. If he loses and McSally wins after verifying the ballots, great our system is working. It’s just sad that so many people think that the ends justify the means and don’t seem to have a problem with cheating as long as their candidate wins. Count ALL the votes, BUT verify that they are legitimate votes. If not, toss them and clean up the system.
I don’t know if you know this, but in Mexico if you want to vote you MUST show you voters card with photo ID …for the people that know this first hand, because they had voted there and know what the process is ….WHY DO THE MAKE THIS A POLITICAL ISSUE ???????
They did count “some” votes on Sunday.

F Ann Rodriguez needs to go. Enough is enough of this mess.
It would have been a more interesting (s)election, maybe even worth VOTING in if either of those candidates actually had articulated reasonable policies and positions…
Instead of jerking us around with huge pots of outside money to buy disgusting attack ads littering the People’s Airspace…
CD2 is an interesting district. It’s right in the middle of the USAmerican Imperial cesspool of war, capitalism, the oligarchy and social insanity…might be the most “representative” USAmerican voting district in the country…
Lets take a Little Walk Down Memory Lane:
WHO remembers the Arizona Driver’s license scandal of 2004? Read about it here:
http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=1…
Check out the names of the indicted, and ask yourself: “How many were ‘pro-raza’ racists?”
How many of THESE drivers licenses ended up in the hands of illegals, or those creating numerous fraudulent identities, so they could commit massive election fraud?
10,000? 50,000? Does any Democrat even care?
WHO out there REALLY wants to know about “election fraud?”
There is no proof whatsoever that undocumented immigrants are voting in U.S. elections. In fact, the whole notion is utterly absurd. No undocumented person is going to risk discovery and deportation by showing up at a polling place with a fake ID.
Please quit with the hysteria already. If y’all are so afraid of brown people, why don’t you move far away to a country that has none? In the meantime, crawl back under your rocks and STFU.
Vote fraud? ACORN knows.

While Dems cry fraud at the polls, their fraud is usually in governing.
Listen to the author of Obamcare:

Not sure who clicked the dislikes on my comments above, but that alone is interesting. I said I want the candidate that has the most legitimate votes to win whether it is McSally or Barber. Why would you have an issue with legitimizing the votes according to the law that is in place? I’m sure Barber supporters would be all over it if it meant more votes for him.
Would you have liked my comments if I had said, “Count all votes for Barber regardless if they are legit or not, because I think he is the best candidate and I have a problem with McSally!” My guess is that many of you who dislike my comments would, regardless of how wrong that is.
If the votes are in fact legit I want them counted, regardless who they are for. If they aren’t, they aren’t.
