(115,681 posts)AP may have called it, but AZ Sect of State says...
"After the initial upload of early ballot results at 8:00 p.m., the Secretary of State does not expect further polling place results for an hour or more. This website will refresh automatically when new results are available from Maricopa County."

My mother in law lives in that district and is a liberal but she doesnt discuss politics because there are some crazy right wingers in that area. When I go I keep quiet and keep to myself. If youre not pure white you get major squint eye there. I get people staring at me trying to figure out my race when I go there. Its gotten worst since the election of Twitler.
