The race in Arizona has tightened in the 24 hours since polls closed and there are still more than 400,000 votes to count.

As we always knew there would be. On the eve of the election, the organizers said by Friday they would have counted 95-99% of the votes and they are still on course to do that.

Democratic Senator Mark Kelly is maintaining a stronger lead over his Republican challenger Blake Masters, but it could still go either way in this crucial race that may determine which party controls the Senate.

In the hours since the first results were released, we have watched as the Democratic lead in all the races narrowed. As we expected it would. Now there is just a fraction of a percentage point between the Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs and her Republican opponent Kari Lake.

The Republicans are incredibly close to reaching a majority in the House.
