Arizona Certifies Midterm Election Results Despite GOP Challenges

Arizona election officials certified the midterm election results on Monday, declaring Democrats winners in high-profile Senate and gubernatorial races over Republican candidates who falsely claimed the 2020 election was rigged.

The certification now opens a five-day window for challenges to the election. The Republican candidate for governor, Kari Lake, is expected to file a lawsuit after criticizing the administration of the election.

Katie Hobbs, the Democratic secretary of state, will be the next governor, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) will keep his seat for a six-year term, and Adrian Fontes, the former Maricopa County recorder, will be secretary of state. The attorney general’s race will go to an automatic recount following the certification after Democrat Kris Mayes led Republican Abraham Hamadeh by only 510 votes, a result of recent rule changes by the state legislature.
